15 Lettuce Wrap Recipes That Are So Good, You Won't Even Miss The Bread
You heard it here first: Lettuce is about to have its *moment*.
Parker feierbach
While it may be best known for salads, a whole uncut piece of lettuce is also the perfect vessel for a slew of tasty ingredients. So ditch the bread and wrap your favorite proteins in a lighter, greener, and healthier option. With these creative lettuce wrap recipes in your back pocket, like our copycat P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps to Philly cheesesteak lettuce wraps, you'll hardly miss the bread anyways.
First things first: Not all lettuce is built the same. Crispy iceberg is light and refreshing (and we love it for a wedge salad), but we opted more heartier lettuces for these recipes, like romaine and butterhead lettuce. Smoother butterhead lettuce leaves are ideal for wrapping as they're super flexible and wide enough wrap around and keep all the toppings inside. Butterhead lettuce is the key to loading up our peanut-sesame chicken lettuce wraps, caramelized tofu lettuce wraps, and our basil avocado shrimp salad wraps.
Romaine lettuce is our favorite for when we're craving a signature crunch to our wraps, as they have that inner white rib that keeps them sturdy, perfect for loading up for our chicken caesar salad lettuce wraps.
Your favorite sandwich fillings are amazing wrapped in lettuce, too. My personal favorite flavor combo for a lettuce wrap is a classic Cuban sandwich, but feel free to try your favorite chicken salad, or load it up like a Reuben sandwich.

Peanut-Sesame Chicken Lettuce Cups
These flavor-packed peanut-sesame chicken lettuce cups are as simple as it gets for a weeknight dinner. For the juiciest, most tender shredded chicken, try to pick breasts that are similar in size, so they cook at roughly the same rate, then toss in the peanut sauce while hot for maximum flavor absorption.

Copycat Chicken Lettuce Wraps
In our attempt to copy the fan favorite from PF.Chang's, we flavored ground chicken with hoisin sauce (a fermented bean paste that gives the chicken the quintessential Chinese-American flavor), soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil. Water chestnuts add a nice crunch here, too.

Caramelized Tofu Lettuce Cups
Sweet, sour, and salty, these lettuce cups are ripe for improvisation and can be served with all sorts of accompaniments. Crunchy raw vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots can add heft, and a drizzle of chili oil is a must for spice lovers. And if lettuce isn't cutting it, a heaping spoonful of rice is a perfect pairing.
