    I did buffalo chicken lettuce wraps last night, and they were pretty awesome. I used the skinnytaste crock pot buffalo chicken recipe (3lbs chicken breast, 1 bottle Frank's buffalo sauce, and a packet of ranch seasonings in a crock pot for 8 hours, then shred), added a little ranch mayo, and rolled them in leaves of iceberg. Yum :)

    I don't get the deal with wrapping with lettuce. I LOVE it but I can't ever get a good wrap on. I've tried so many different kinds of lettuce. What am I doing wrong?!

    I use Boston lettuce leaves. They seem to hold up better when wrapping.

    Go to the store and buy Jennie O extra lean turkey (only 120 cals per serving) and also buy sunbird lettuce wrap seasoning (15 cals per 2 tbsp) and some fresh jalapenos if you like spicy food - add sriracha for taste - awesome lettuce wraps!!!

    I like Boston lettuce also for wraps.

    I did BLT wraps, tuna salad wraps, pretty much anything you can put in a sandwich.

    When I use to do catering, I made a grilled chicken salad with apples and toasted cashews wrapped in bib lettuce. I’m sure with light mayo and use a different nut it will be healthy.

    Self magazine has a great lettuce wrap that I make frequently. Use the living head of butter lettuce for it.. they are AMAZING! Here is the recipe. :)
