Simple Tofu Lettuce Wraps

For an easy and light meal, try these simple tofu lettuce wraps. Even the most picky meat eaters will love these. Enjoy!

 

While watching the Pioneer Women recently, she  made a delicious recipe for tofu lettuce wraps.

I loved her idea of wrapping in a lettuce leaf.

Deciding to make these for lunch when both my husband and son wouldn’t think of eating tofu was a hard decision of mine.

Should I give it a go and hope they’ll even try these tofu lettuce wraps? 

I went with it. 🥬 

They looked at me funny and my husband said that it looks like a colorful plate.

I told them both to just trust me. So, we all took a bite at the same time.

They really liked these!

To be honest, I had a backup lunch waiting for them just in case.

I was so glad I didn’t  even need to tell them about it.

This simple recipe is so tasty and easy to prepare that I make it all the time for just me.

Then, I keep the leftover tofu mixture in the fridge for the next day.

Give it a try and you’ll know what I mean after the first bite.
