INGREDIENTS (Turkey Lettuce Wraps)

4 slices provolone cheese (or sliced cheese of your choice)
2 tbsp hummus
4 slices tomato
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, deseeded and thinly sliced
Optional: other sliced veggies of your choice
Toothpicks (4)
DIRECTIONS:
Lay out one lettuce leaf.
Spread ~ 1/2 tbsp hummus and 1/2 tbsp mustard on each (does not need to be exact)
Layer with deli meat, cheese, and sliced veggies.
Roll up from one end to the next and secure with toothpick.
https://jetoncasinoplay.com the note about peeling the lettuce leaves carefully to keep the curved shape intact is a small tip that makes a real difference, since a torn leaf turns the whole thing into a messy pile. I usually skip the mustard and double up on hummus, but the toothpick trick is something I'll actually use next time. Wraps like this have pretty much replaced sandwiches for me in summer, especially with cucumber sliced thin so it doesn't water everything down.
I was on https://licensfreecasino.com and needed a quick snack between games—this 10-minute lettuce wrap is perfect. The trick of peeling the lettuce leaves carefully to keep the curve intact is something I’ll use; mine always crack. I’m going to try it with tuna salad and pickled jalapeños for extra kick.
