Lettuce Wraps

Submitted by Babs in Toyland

"This is my version of P F Changs lettuce wraps recipe. It is a lot less time consuming. Plus this versatile filling can be used in a flour tortilla with some cheese and fold over and microwave for a minute for a tasty burrito. Also it works really well as a topping on your pizza. I spread some basil pesto on a flour tortilla and add some shredded cheese and some of the filling and bake for 8 minutes and it is delicious."

This was easy to make, took some time to cut all the veggies up, but well worth it! I cut the oils down a little and didn't use as much chili sauce because my kids don't like spicy foods. I will be making this again, only doubling it so there is some left over! Even my fussy daughter ate the veggies in it and didn't complain!

Really easy and really tasty! Thanks for sharing this! Easy ingredients the only thing I added were some seeded red peppers from our garden. My three old daughter and husband enjoyed eating this meal. For a summer dinner I served it with a side of white rice and a salad. This recipe is a keeper!

This recipe is awsome. I used butter lettuce and used all of the peppers. It was so good. be prepared for a lot of chopping. I also didn't follow the times. It took me a little longer to make. My husband and I have competitions cooking, I definitely won that week!
