Cheap&Healthy Lettuce Wraps

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UTulsa chapter.

We’ve all tasted the scrumptious lettuce wraps from P.F. Chang’s. They’re light, delicious, and have the perfect amount of crunch. What if I told you that you could make a perfect replica in your own home for $10? 

Not only are these lettuce wraps inexpensive, but they take less than 20 minutes to cook and only require a few healthy ingredients. In addition, the recipe makes a decent amount, allowing for leftovers!
