These lettuce wraps were really good, but they were a bit too messy to eat. I think I would use a fork and knife next time.

These lettuce wraps were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less Sriracha next time.

I'm not a fan of lettuce, so I used rice paper wrappers instead. They worked great and the lettuce wraps were still delicious.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used almond butter in the sauce instead. It was still really good!

These lettuce wraps were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the filling.

I had a hard time finding lettuce wraps at the store, so I used cabbage leaves instead. They worked just as well and the lettuce wraps were still delicious.
