VEGAN LETTUCE WRAPS, BETTER THAN THE RESTUARANT KIND

Whenever I visit an Asian restaurant the first thing I ask is if they have vegan lettuce wraps.  These are a favorite of mine.  So crunchy and delicious!  When I saw that Erin would be cooking these on #SaturdaySnackDown I got super excited.  I never even thought about making them at home.  I look forward to trying this recipe soon and getting that lettuce wrap craving satisfied.

INSPIRED BY ASIAN TOFU LETTUCE WRAPS FROM PF CHANGS

One of Erin Riley-Carrasco’s absolute favorite restaurant meals is the Asian Tofu Lettuce Wraps from PF Changs. On this segment of #SaturdaySnackdown, she creates her own version of this amazingly delicious and healthy dish. She uses a brand new vegan chicken product called “Daring” that is gluten-free, non-GMO, and only has 8, all-natural ingredients – NO processed ingredients whatsoever! This plant-based chicken has 20 grams of protein per serving and cooks very quickly. This recipe tastes so similar to the PF Changs recipe and is so easy to make. Enjoy these super tasty, gluten-free, cruelty-free Lettuce Wraps!

Since we are still in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I am not yet comfortable heading over to PF Changs for that vegan lettuce wrap craving, so for now, I will try to make these at home with the help of Erin’s easy recipe.  Erin always cooks up the most amazing meals for us.  Her recipes are my favorite…always delicious and always creative.  Frankly, I feel like she should open her own restaurant, she’s that good!  Let’s check out the magic she created today…
