- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Lettuce: Fresh, crisp lettuce is essential for these wraps. If your lettuce is wilted, it will not hold up well and will be difficult to wrap.
- Don't Overstuff the Wraps: Be careful not to overstuff the wraps, or they will be difficult to eat. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per wrap.
- Use a Variety of Fillings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your fillings. You can use a variety of cooked meats, vegetables, and cheeses. Just make sure that the flavors complement each other.
- Serve Immediately: Lettuce wraps are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
