Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

Sometime back we had “living” lettuce (butter lettuce) in our bountiful basket. Rather than the usual chopping it up and making kootu or salad, I wanted to try something different. Hence, these wraps were born. If you are avoiding tortillas for some reason, you can totally switch it with these big leaves. They were a tad fragile unlike the tortillas, but it still worked out pretty good. The filling was a healthy filling with beans, quinoa, vegetables and so on. Off to the recipe.
