What Is the Best Lettuce to Make Wraps With?
We use butter or Bibb lettuce for this recipe, which is a variety of tender green lettuce with a mild, sweet flavor. The leaves are round, cupped and pliable, perfect for holding the bean salad filling. You can use other varieties of lettuce, such as green leaf or romaine, which have a longer shape and a crisp texture.
How Do You Keep Lettuce Crisp for Lettuce Wraps?
Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce and mint from wilting. If you’re packing the wraps for lunch, you can assemble them the evening before or in the morning; refrigerate them until ready to pack with an ice pack.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
