YUMMY!!!! Lettuce Wraps!

[TeraLynn]

OK... I dont know on what post I saw the lettuce wrap idea, but I am COMPLETELY hooked!!!

I took some iceburg lettuce leaves and filled them with taco makings and it had to be the best thing I've had yet! It had the crunch and the yummy filling. If you have not tried these things, I suggest you do.

Thank you to whoever posted the idea...I wish I remembered where I saw it!

Re: YUMMY!!!! Lettuce Wraps!

I totally agree. I use lettuce and cabbage all the time ~ I roll taco filling, tuna salad, egg salad, meat fillings, and sometimes just use the lettuce leaves as bread when I make a sandwich. Thanks for reminding people they don't have to do without, just be creative and still enjoy the foods they like.

I use lettuce for faux-jitas--> fajita ingredients wrapped in a lettuce leaf---Absolutely delish!

I love lettuce wraps too.

I also like a half of a red bell pepper stuffed with tuna or chicken salad. MMmmMMMmmm.

OK... I'm reading all these ideas and I cant wait til lunch!

I think I'm going to have to make some chicken salad. I really like the idea about the red pepper.

A little side note... When I was a kid, my mom used to take all the different colors of peppers and make thin strips and freeze them. Then, when it was hot outside, we would get these out of the freezer as a snack. HAs anyone tried them that way? I think I'm going to have to do that, because it's getting hot here.

I love doing the lettuce wraps with tacos and romaine lettuce! I enjoy them better if I remember to put a small layer of sour cream down first so it stays crispy. Hmmm...now I know what to have for dinner!!

Wow, sounds great, how creative! Must try.
Must buy a wok actually, had to leave me behind when I moved and O my I miss it, it's the best Atkins aid.

Hello...I use romaine lettuce leaves for wraps and fill them with tuna and mayo and other times I fill them with bacon, tomato and mayo!
Yummy!

My favorite are tuna lettuce wraps.

I wrap the tuna in butter lettuce (perfectly shaped leaves for that sort of thing).
I take a big bag of tuna and mix in a chopped up radish, a chopped up stalk of celery, a chopped up slice of red onion, some chopped up olives, and mayo. I'll add 2 slices of tomato to the wrap and 3 slices of bacon. Very good and filling.
