Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp lettuce leaves: The type of lettuce you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for leaves that are sturdy and have a vibrant color.
- Prep your lettuce leaves properly: Before assembling your wraps, wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly. You can remove the tough center stems if you prefer.
- Don't overload your wraps: Overloading your wraps will make them difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart. Aim to use about 1/2 cup of filling per wrap.
- Wrap your wraps tightly: To prevent your wraps from falling apart, wrap them tightly. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure them if needed.
- Serve your wraps immediately: Lettuce wraps are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.
