This is not your normal lettuce wrap. It’s packed with not only minced chicken and vegetables, but pine nuts, shiitake mushrooms and potatoes while wrapped taco-style in fresh lettuce leaves. These lettuce wraps are quick and easy to make, flavorful yet low in carbs. Great as a light meal, appetizer, or party food.
