FAQs:
- Can I use a different type of lettuce? Absolutely! Butter lettuce or green leaf lettuce would both work well.
- What other toppings can I add? Chopped red onion, sliced jalapenos, or a drizzle of sriracha would all be delicious additions.
- Can I make these ahead of time? The lettuce wraps are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and assemble them just before serving.
