Butter lettuce replaces tortillas for healthy wraps

Butter lettuce, with its soft, pliable leaves, makes an excellent, naturally low-carbohydrate substitute for tortillas in wraps. A single leaf has less than 1 gram of net carbs, significantly lower than even 'low-carb' tortillas which can contain 4-10 grams. This swap gained popularity in the early 2010s with paleo and gluten-free trends, offering a mild flavor and tender texture that perfectly holds fillings like chicken or vegetables. It's not just about reducing carbs; lettuce adds vitamins A, K, and folate, promoting nutrient-dense meals and encouraging more vegetable intake for better gut health.
