Directions

 * Get a HUGE bowl. Chop all of the fresh ingredients (except lettuce) into fine bits. Add all of the sauce ingredients and toss together.


 * Use the fresh, washed lettuce leaves as you would a tortilla for wrapping the filling.


 * For added taste, add 1/3 cup juice from mushroom can, or even strain the juice from a can of kidney beans or black that you might be using for something else.


 * This is a GREAT way to use up the leftover produce in your fridge!


 * If you want, you can change the seasonings for a different taste. Try black olives instead of green with tofu for a Greek wrap, etc.
