Lettuce Wrap Sandwich
/Heyyo! These lettuce wrap sandwiches have been rocking my world lately. They are nothing new, but I finally created my own instead of ordering my favorite (for $14) from East Hampton in Dallas. I’m sorry but I can’t pay $14 for vegetables. There is a learning curve on figuring out how to wrap these babies up, so keep scrolling for the ingredients deats and a little vid for the how-to!
Lettuce Wrap Sandwich
serves 1
Ingredients: (use these as a guide but feel free to fill your wrap up with any of your fave sandwich fillers)
3 slices of smoked turkey deli meat
3 slices of salami
2 slices of tomato, cut in half
1 thin slice of red onion, cut in half
2 sandwich pickles, cut down the middle
1/4 of an avocado, thinly sliced
micro greens or sprouts
3-4 leaves of iceberg lettuce
condiment of your choice
salt and pepper
parchment paper
Directions:
Tear off a rectangle shape piece of parchment and lay on a cutting board. Lay your leaves of iceberg onto the parchment, flattening them out and creating a rectangle shape. Overlap them, not leaving any holes. Make sure to leave a border of parchment paper around the lettuce.
Now start to layer the sandwich ingredients. You want to lay the ingredients in the middle of the lettuce and build up. If you are doing mayo or mustard, start with a spread of that on the lettuce. Then turkey, salami, pickles, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, sprouts or microgreens, and finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Now it’s time to roll. First, just like a burrito, you will fold in the sides of the lettuce. Then at the side closest to you, using the parchment paper to guide, begin to push everything in and tightly roll. As you make a roll, pull the parchment out so it doens’t get rolled up inside. Keep going, rolling and pulling the parchment out. Once you are almost to the end, fold in the sides of the parchment and then finish your roll. I like to seal it with a piece of tape and then cut in half. Enjoy!
