Introduction
Quick and healthy, these lettuce wraps are so fresh and delicious. They are ready in under 30 minutes which makes this one of my favourite weeknight meals. The filling is really versatile – you can add in any vegetables you have as well as protein. I’ve made these with tofu, shrimp, chicken and beef!

- Green leaf lettuce
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup snow peas, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped

✖️In a skillet with a splash of olive oil, on medium heat, sauté onions, peppers, carrots, snow peas, onion, mushrooms, green onions and peanuts until soft – approximately 15 mins
