WHAT LETTUCE IS BEST FOR MAKING LETTUCE WRAPS?

• Iceberg Lettuce gives them a nice crispiness, but they are much harder to roll compared to other lettuce types.
• Bib Lettuce or Green Leaf both have a large, loose head which work perfectly for wraps.
• Butter Lettuce (recommended) is a softer lettuce, that’s thick, has larger leaves and easy to roll.
