Lettuce wraps are the new sandwich. If you’re one to crave that glutenny (not to be confused with gluttony), carb-filled bread or tortillas that holds all the delicious fillings, then by all means, go ahead and indulge. The rest of us, especially in the paleo community, enjoy that tastiness wrapped in leafy greens. Besides, I tend to focus my attention on all the yummy fixings that go between two slices of bread. Give me the meat, the cheese, the never-ending colorful veggies and all the other flavors and textures. I always do a happy dance when I see eateries and even fancy restaurants offer to pretty much “lettuce wrap” any sandwich or burrito on the menu.
