Why You’ll Love This Lettuce Wrap
This sandwich is gluten-free, low-carb, high-protein, and endlessly customizable to be vegetarian, dairy-free, whatever you need. The key to keeping it interesting: a mix of crunchy, creamy, zesty fillings and flavorful condiments. My go-to’s are pickles, red onion, cheese, turkey, sriracha 🌶️, and honey Dijon but you can fill these wraps with any of your favorite fillings. The lettuce here serves as an alternative to bread and wraps; no, sadly, lettuce does not taste like bread BUT it does have a satisfying crunch and adds incredible freshness. You’ll be fueled and energized after enjoying this for a meal.
How to Prepare This Lettuce Wrap
🥬 Lay out a large piece of parchment paper onto a cutting board. In the center of the parchment paper, layer the romaine leaves, slightly overlapping the leaves. All the stems should be facing you. 🥣 Now, combine the mayo and Sriracha and spread a bit onto each leaf, along with the mustard. 🧀 Add the toppings: turkey slices, cheese, pickles, and onions on top. 📐 Rotate the parchment paper 90 degrees so the stems of the lettuce leaves are horizontal to you. 🍬 Then gently roll the lettuce to form a wrap. Twist each end of the parchment paper, so that the contents are wrapped like a candy. Next, using a large knife, cut the wrap in half. 😋 Finally, you can slide or rip the parchment paper down as you enjoy your low carb lettuce wrap!
