I like messy food. Alot. Which is why I love wraps. Sure, they seem neat and tidy when you take your first bite, and your second, and maybe even your fourth. But when you get towards the end….BAM all the insides fall out. To some, it may cause a little stress. Me, I pick up my fork and stuff as much as I can into my mouth.
These are good. Really good. And you can add anything you want into them. I like recipes with freedom….and that I can’t screw up.

For the Peanut Sauce
- 2 tbsp pb

Instructions
For the Wraps
Slice your veggies & apple. Lay out 3 lettuce pieces. Divide up apple & vegetables into the lettuce leaves, but make sure not to overstuff. Begin to roll, tucking both ends in and roll another lettuce leave with the one that is stuffed. Use toothpicks if you want, I do. Rolling the wraps can take a couple tries..but it’s worth it.
For the Peanut Sauce
Mix all ingredients together. It’s that easy, and delicious.
What a wonderful combination of ingredients. I bet the wraps have tons of flavor. Looks great!
thank you!
These look great! I especially like the addition of the apple, I wouldn’t have thought of that!!
It was a last minute addition…but a good one!
I was thinking the same thing about the apples! Looks great, I’ll have to try this!
MMmm…those look delicious and much healthier than the lettuce wraps at PF Changs.
Nothing’s better than healthifing your favorite restaurant meals!
These look great! I just stopped eating meat, and I do miss the lettuce wraps at my favorite restaurant. These look even better. Thanks!
Having to stop eating some of your favorite restaurant meals can be the hardest part of changing your diet. It’s fun to make the recipes over though! Enjoy!
