Lettuce wraps are a versatile and nutritious dish, featuring fresh lettuce leaves used as a substitute for bread or tortillas. Commonly associated with Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Thai traditions, they are filled with a mixture of finely chopped protein such as chicken, beef, or tofu, along with vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and water chestnuts. Often seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, they deliver bold flavors while remaining light and refreshing. Lettuce wraps are low in carbohydrates and calories, making them a popular choice for those seeking healthier meal options or adhering to gluten-free diets. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals from the lettuce and other ingredients, they also provide a good balance of protein and fiber. However, calorie content can rise if sugary or high-sodium sauces are used, so moderation is key to maintaining their health benefits.
