Paleo BLT Lettuce Wraps

This recipe started out using a pita, but as I saw a head of fresh romaine lettuce as well as a head of red leaf lettuce in the frig, and only 5 flat breads left, figured it would be wiser to use the gorgeous head of romaine lettuce rather than introduce more grains into my diet, which ultimately makes me gain bodyfat.

The frig was packed with veggies and fruit and honestly, I didn't know quite exactly what we all had, so thank God that my kids are old enough to say to them to clean out and organize the frig and they do it!  Praise God!

Wraps just before wrapping them

This is an early lunch for us - as swimming makes my kids hungry.  This recipe is very versatile and you really could wrap anything you want in the lettuce wrap.  Be creative!  Oh my goodness!  This is soooo yummilicious!  My kids devoured their wraps, combined with some fresh strawberries.  Love healthy, nutritious eating.

Ingredients:

• 3 large romaine lettuce leaves
