Lettuce wraps originated in China, but they’re super popular in Laos and Thailand, where the lettuce is filled with larb—a spicy salad made with with ground meat and vegetables.

Tacos, right?

Our super simple version is made using our Thai Green Curry Spice Blend, some ground meat (or tofu) and a little coconut milk. If you don’t like coconut milk, you can use water instead. And if you don’t eat meat, you can use tofu. If you can’t find Thai basil, use regular. You get the point—as long as you have the filling and the lettuce, the rest is your choice!
