Express Lunch – Lettuce Wraps
July 15th, 2009 | Published in Food, Recipes | 3 Comments
One of my favorite lunches is lettuce wraps. They’re easy – and so flexible. You can put anything you want in ‘em.
Instructions:
Get a nice, big head of Romaine lettuce. Take off a few leaves and wash them out. Now, chop up any and all veggies that you’d like.
Some typical veggies I use are purple cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini.
You can also use spread – or make your own. I make one that’s a little bit of avocado, garlic, and onion all mashed together.
Once you’ve got all your ingredients together, build your wrap. Place the veggies in middle of a romaine leaf and then wrap it up like a tortilla.
Ahhhh refreshing!
Welcome!

Love this! Great idea! I used to do this with left over taco fillings. Think I’ll dapple in the kitchen now and see what goodies I have to stuff!

Yeah – that’s the beauty of this lunch (or snack… or dinner…) – you can use whatever you have on hand.
And – it’s so filling!

What a great idea!! Better than using pita…
While I’m not going raw any day soon, I embrace the entire philosophy of eating as close to natural as possible.
This recipe idea definitely helps me do more of that… and my kids will love this too!!
