The Romaine Lettuce Wrap was born out of a desire for a healthy and portable meal. The first wraps were made with grilled chicken, lettuce, and tomato. However, over time, the recipe has evolved to include a variety of ingredients, including grilled portobello mushrooms, spinach, and red onion. These wraps are now a staple in my meal planning, and I often make a big batch on the weekend to have on hand for quick and easy meals throughout the week.
