Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

I still need something meaty to bite into even if meat is not on the menu. If you’re like me, these Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps are a no brainer. They’re a delicious mix of crunchy, smooth, sweet and salty, but most important they’re quick and simple to make, and equally easy to pick up and enjoy. You won’t miss the meat at all or, for that matter, the tortillas or lavash found in most wrap recipes since they use leaves of crisp lettuce to hold all the tasty bites together — making them a great choice if your looking for a gluten-free vegetarian recipe.
