Expert Tips
- We like to use romaine lettuce for our Taco Beef Lettuce Wraps, because they typically are sturdier than other lettuce varieties, making the wraps easier to eat and less likely to fall apart in the process.
- If full-sized tomatoes are not in season, try substituting chopped cherry tomatoes to get the best flavor.
