What lettuce should I use for lettuce wraps?
There are a variety of lettuce leaves you can use for lettuce wraps. I recommend lettuce which is crunchy and will hold food easily. Butter lettuce, Iceberg lettuce, and Romain lettuce hearts work best, but any lettuce will work. I would stick to lettuce that won’t get too soggy and won’t break easily. Collard greens, endive, savoy cabbage, gem lettuce, and Bibb will also work.

I love how an Instant Pot cooks up meat incredibly tender super fast! Cooking meat in your Instant Pot makes shredded meat and ground meat dishes into super flavorful meals in under 30 minutes.
