I'm not a big fan of lettuce wraps, but these were really good. The lettuce was crisp and fresh, and the filling was flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, so I used mango instead. It was still delicious!

The sausage and pineapple are a great combo. The sweetness of the pineapple really balances out the savory sausage.
