Mexican Lettuce Wraps
- Nothing like a light summery meal to make you feel good! I love lettuce wraps, but have only ever had Asian ones (which I crave....frequently:) I ADORE mexican flavors more than anything, and so I knew this would be right up my ally. I thought they were great, again the hubby thought they weren't that filling. Next time he gets to eat them on tortillas! Also, I didn't think the Boston lettuce gave me the nice crunch I was looking for, so next time I will use iceberg or romaine.
