Tofu Lettuce Wraps
These Tofu Lettuce Wraps are an easy weeknight dinner and an instant hit with the kids. I mean, what kid doesn’t like to eat with their hands?!!
Serve the filling and lettuce leaves family style and let the family go to town making wraps and stuffing their faces 🙂
Got a busy week and can’t even spare the 20ish minutes to get the filling made? Batch cook it on the weekend.
I serve these alongside veggie potstickers (frozen from Trader Joe’s) or vegan egg rolls. My kids love rice so a steaming bowl typically makes an appearance too.
