Does anyone know an easy way to make lettuce cups?

So in an effort to further reduce my carbs I've been scrapping tortillas and trying to make lettuce wraps. However I seem to be having a really hard time getting the layers of lettuce apart in nice sheets that arent all ripped. Anyone have any good tips on an easy way to get them apart?

    Buy leaf lettuce or romaine instead of iceberg. The leaves aren't so tightly curled and come apart nicely, one at a time.

    I preffer iceberg lettuce when it comes to wraps! I find that coring it not only helps peal the leaves off easier, BUT it also keeps it more fresh in the fridge!

    Besides different kind of lettuce (already said) I also use cabbage. It doesn' work with every kind of food, but pulled pork (kind of like a wrap of coleslaw built in??) and also this awesome asian turkey recipe I make ALL of the time: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/asian-turkey-cabbage-cups-10000001932640/
