Keto Low-Carb PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Most lettuce wrap recipes fall into two traps: either the filling is bland, or the lettuce turns into a soggy mess halfway through eating. Not this one, these keto lettuce wraps hit different! My version is seasoned all the way through, saucy enough to be satisfying, but not so messy that it falls apart in your hands. I’ve tested it, tweaked it, and made sure it works for busy weeknights and meal prep.

What Lettuce is Best For Wraps?
If you would like the wraps to look like they do in the restaurant, you will need to use bibb or butter lettuce. Butter lettuce is really small and perfect if you are going to use the wraps as an appetizer. Whole Foods is the only store I consistently see butter lettuce. With other supermarkets it is very hit or miss for me. I often turn my lettuce wraps into a main dish. I love to use romaine lettuce for main dish wraps. Romaine is larger and longer than bibb/butter lettuce. It can also withstand more filling. Because this recipe has sauce, you will need to be careful with overfilling the lettuce. Romaine makes it much easier to work with.Nutrition
