The crunch of cool lettuce against warm, savory mushrooms creates this incredible temperature contrast that keeps every bite interesting
These wraps come together in under 35 minutes but taste like something from a restaurant, making them perfect for impromptu dinner guests

02 -

Work in batches if your skillet is crowded, otherwise the mushrooms will steam instead of sauté and you will lose that caramelized flavor
Pat your mushrooms dry with paper towels before cooking, excess water prevents proper browning and makes the final dish soggy

Use a wok if you have one, the high sloping sides make tossing vegetables much easier and more efficient
Let the filling cool slightly before assembling if you are serving these at a party, this keeps the lettuce from wilting too quickly
