8 medium inner romaine lettuce leaves (from a romaine heart)
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

These lettuce wraps are a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover steak and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the lettuce wraps still turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and added some chopped carrots and celery to the filling.

These lettuce wraps were just okay. The beef was a little dry and the sauce was too spicy for my taste.

These lettuce wraps are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crispy wonton wrappers and the flavorful beef.

I've made these lettuce wraps several times now and they're always a favorite. The beef is so tender and juicy, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
