Lettuce Wraps

Whether you’re looking for a no-cook dinner or just something light and refreshing, you’re going to love these easy lettuce wraps! A walnut filling mimics ground meat, while the sweet sriracha sauce makes these lettuce wraps irresistible.
I have been reading up about walnut “taco meat” for a while and finally decided to give it a go for these lettuce wraps. You’d be amazed that after a few pulses in the food processor, walnuts become the best meat substitute I have ever met. And thanks to its neutral flavour, pretty much any seasoning you add to walnut meat will work.
Here, we pair the walnut meat with a sweet, spicy sriracha sauce. The Asian flavours worked perfectly in these wraps, and the topping—red peppers, carrots, sesame seeds and scallions—provides colour, flavour, and crunch.
Ingredients:
