    I have slow cooked pork (naked) and then eaten them wrapped in lettuce. If you slow cook it naked you can take the pork in as many different ways as you can imagine. Very yummy and hard to get tired of! :)

    I've been wrapping just about everything in lettuce leaves! Last night I sautéed green peppers, onions,myellow peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes with a fajita seasoning. Spooned the veggie mix in lettuce leaves and Topped them with wholly guacamole! Fahitas...without the tortillas's...so yummy and filling and healthy!

    I also made Mango chicken lettuce wraps...about 1.5 lbs chicken breast, 5 TBS of mango jam or preserves (or apricot or peach), 3 TBS low sodium soy sauce, dash of crushed red pepper, 2 whole jalepeno's, 2 cucumbers diced, 1 onion diced, 2 garlic cloves crushed and diced, aprox. 1 inch cube of ginger root crushed and diced, 2 TBS of sweet chili sauce....dump it all in a crockpot, cook on low 4 to 6 hours, shred the chicken and remove the 2 jalepeno's...serve in lettuce leaves topped with diced fresh mangos!! So good!

    The other day I made lettuce wraps with some avocado and whatever veggies I had around & it was so good!
    Just mash some avocado in a bowl then add some diced tomatoes, diced jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, diced red onion, some corn, then sprinkle on some fresh cilantro and a few squirts of lime...mix all up and spread onto lettuce leaf. I happened to use butter lettuce. Sorry I didn't measure it out..just threw it all together :)

    You can also make a less salty and fatty version of PF Chang's lettuce cups by sauteing ground turkey with some low sodium soy sauce, shredded carrots, water chestnuts chopped, chopped mushroom, chopped green peppers, and Mrs. Dash origional seasoning. Then you place in lettuce leaves. I sometimes top mine with some cooked rice noodles, they can also be left off. I have used sesame oil to saute the filling too.
