Lettuce Wraps

by Connie Cheung

I love PF Chang or Cheesecake Factory lettuce wraps. This easy to make dish pulls together all the macronutrients, seamlessly providing a flexible and well balanced option for everyone in the family. It’s always a favorite in my family and the options for what you can add are endless.
