Lettuce Quinoa Wraps: Summer Comfort Food Alternative
The weather is so warm here and usually in these cases, all I want is something fresh. My latest obsession has been lettuce wraps with all kinds of fillings. The last few months every time I would like to enjoy comfort food, then I always end up eating these lettuce wraps.
Sometimes I add some fish bites as well. Other times I enjoy it only with quinoa and vegetables. The secret touch with lime juice and mint will give some extra freshness and make it all come together.
No need to follow a recipe: Go Creative
The best part with lettuce wraps is that you don’t have to follow the recipe. You can fill your wrap whatever ingredients you like. Therefore, add some extra smashed avocado, chicken or fish. The choice is yours. As a result, it’s great as a gathering snack. Everyone can choose their favorite ingredients.
You can prepare all the fillings and lay them on the table. Everyone can choose the ingredients they like and make their own wraps. You can prepare the quinoa salad few hours before and the lime juice will make sure that the avocado doesn’t go brown.
