One of the greatest uses for lettuce is as a wrap. I don’t know about you, but lettuce wraps are
one of my favorite appetizers in the world, and they are fantastic to make at
home.
I also use lettuce to mix it up with my kids when they are tired
of sandwiches or burritos; we have wraps.
It is a sneaky way to cut out grains that aren’t so good for you and add
an additional vegetable. And if you are
making lettuce
wraps you can slip a whole lot of chopped veggies into that mix. I
sometimes even add chopped apples, as well as bell peppers and shredded
carrots.
If your kids still want the tortilla part of the wrap, save
yourself the time and effort of chopping lettuce and just lay the lettuce leaf
on the tortilla and wrap it up that way. You could even toss in a few unnoticed
spinach leaves that way.
Almost anything that can be put on a bun or between slices
of bread can be added to a wrap. I say almost
anything, because I am not sure I would want to eat peanut butter and jelly
on lettuce. But who knows, maybe my kids would.
