• Use the fresh, washed lettuce leaves as you would a tortilla for wrapping the filling.

• For added taste, add 1/3 cup juice from Mushroom can, or even strain the juice from a can of kidney beans or black that you might be using for something else.

• This is a GREAT way to use up the leftover produce in your fridge!

• If you want, you can change the seasonings for a different taste. Try black olives instead of green with tofu for a Greek wrap, etc.
