Notes
Tips & Tricks:
You can sub the Romaine hearts with your favorite sturdy lettuce (like Bibb or cabbage), or use spring roll wrappers.
Storage Instructions:
This makes a great meal prep option! The filling will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Store the filling separately from the lettuce greens so they don't turn soggy.
