I had my first lettuce wraps at Cheesecake factory and I thought it was perfect for lunch! I really liked it because it is light, full of flavors and nutrients.
I was inspired by it when it made these wraps. I made a green sauce to go with it made with cilantro and shallots. I added some carrots, beans sprouts, cucumbers to it. You can pretty much put whatever you want in them. Combinations for these wraps are endless!
