Fall’s all about wraps whether they are tortilla wraps, or lettuce wraps. Sometimes I feel like the wrap was created just for the fall! This recipe originates from the traditional lettuce wrap but because I felt that it was too bland for my liking, I decided to substitute the ingredients so they’d fit my taste. As an avid fan of the Mexican cuisine, I made this lettuce wrap using ingredients that are normally used to make Mexican food and now, this has become my favorite variation of the lettuce wrap!
