These were a great way to use up some leftover rice. I added some black beans and corn to the filling and they were a hit!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lettuce wraps were really dry. I think I might have overcooked the pork.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.
