Albacore tuna works well in this recipe too.
nice idea! I love ordering lettuce wraps at restaurants - but never crossed my mind to make my own!

Yeah, and it's so easy. You can also mix some cooked rice in with the veggies so it'll be more restaurant style. I do like to refrigerate it and eat it cold too.

i LOVE zucchini...we slice it up, spray it w/ pam, put some garlic salt on it and grill it....during the winter, i slice it REALLY thin, add some salt and bake - it's like zucchini chips!

 

we also eat a lot of stir fry...we put some hot sesame oil and soy sauce and mmmmmmmmm. :)

Oh speaking of lettuce wraps. If you guys live near a Safeway they have a new line of foods called "eating right" that makes really good frozen lettuce wrap mix. It's in the frozen meal section and is only like 70 calories per wrap. It comes with the chicken mixture and these little crunchy rice things. All you add is the lettuce cups and then I make a really good peanut sauce to drizzle on them:

*2tbs creamy peanut butter

*1/4 cup of really hot water

*soy sauce to taste

*Siracha sauce (the red squeeze bottle "cock sauce")

*red wine or rice wine vinegar (usually add about two cap fulls)

*sesame oil (about a cap full)

 

Start with the peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Add a bit of hot water a little at a time until you get the right consistency. Add the rest of the ingredients to taste.....so easy.....so tasty! elefant.gif

That sauce sounds delish. Too bad we don't have Safeway around here. I don't even know what that is...a grocery store?

Safeway is called Genuardis on the east coast (at least around Philly) and they carry the "Eat Right" line.
