Welcome back to Mini Chef Mondays! This is our first “real” mini chefs post of the new year, as last week we shared a round up. My mini chef and I are back in action with new recipes for 2017! This week we made lettuce wraps for lunch together and they turned out delicious. My son even said he loved “this kind of lettuce” after trying it! Ever since I was a little girl I have never liked bread and meat together. So, regular sandwiches were always out for me until one day I discovered the magical invention of- the wrap! I used my love of wraps as inspiration for this fun lunch sandwich, using lettuce instead of tortillas to wrap them up!
In our house we call deli meat “lunch meat,” probably because that’s what we did growing up, hence the name for this recipe. To start off, chop up your favorite lunch meat, we used turkey. You could also just rip it into smaller pieces with your hands!
Lay out extra large pieces of lettuce to start assembling your wraps. First, put on whichever condiments you like on your wraps. We used mustard, but you could also add your favorite mayo or even hot sauce. Next, top with your chopped meat, grated cheese and any veggies you want to add, such as tomatoes or avocado. Last, roll up your wraps and enjoy!
What fillings would you add to your lettuce wrap?
