Looking for a low carb sandwich? Use large romaine lettuce leaves as your bread. The avocado spread on this wrap is creamy, spicy and provides a healthy fat.

Using lettuce wraps is a great idea. Funny how it feels normal to have a sandwich between bread and weird between lettuce leaves. And between leaves makes for a really sloppy hamburger. Regardless….it always tastes delish. 😉 Maybe some day I’ll get used to it. 😉
We have been doing this a lot lately since my husband was told to go gluten free. Boar’s Head is gluten free, and I discovered other brands of meats are not. It is more expensive but for our current diets, worth it! Thanks for participating in the Thursday Blog Hop!
I am a fan of lettuce wraps and these look wonderful. ♥
Thanks Katherine.
