    I am a huge tortilla and bread fanatic and can't live without it. However I am trying a low carb diet and I have to say I did not miss the bread at all on this recipe very good. Not to mention quick and easy.

    This lettuce rollup is so good, you don't miss the bread at all. It might be even better without the bread. I would definetly recommend this to anyone on the low-carb diet or not on it.

    I hate iceberg lettuce, a total waste of money. Use butter/bibb/boston, or green or red leaf, you might also experiment with endive, especially the hearts. Also, fresh spinach leaves could be interesting.

    It's a really simple recipe, so you need to "doll" it up a little. Some flavored sauces could give flair, e.g., mayo with chipotle, mustard, horseradish (spelling?, worshestire, steak sauce, BBQ sauce.

    Roll-ups can be done with almost any type of seafood, poultry, beef or pork. (They can also be done vegetarian by adding some tofu or beans, kid-friendly by doing PB&J, etc. And don't ignore the healthier versions of thin breads; a little carbs are OK, just don't go overboard.

    Also, don't think you have to rely on mayo only; you can use plain yogurt, sour cream (just a little added to the base, cottage cheese, chevre (goat's cheese, neufchatel. Use your imagination. Toss in a small amount of fruit (mandarin oranges, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, apple chunks, and on and on. . . . Try something exotic (figs, a teensy puff of curry powder or chili powder, cinn, allspice, mace, cardamom, . . . .

    Don't be afraid to experiment unless you know that the majority of the people you're feeding will NEVER go for that. Often, they won't even detect what you added, just that it's different, unique, interesting.

    Think occassion and weather. Tailgaiting? Go for the heavier meats. Summer? Go light.

    I really liked this one a lot. So very easy. I am not big on swiss cheese so I put cheddar in it's place. Oh so good. I also put three pieces of bacon in stead of two. All I can say is YUMMY.
    Keep it up George. You are helping me stay low carb!

    This recipe was really satisfying. It is really simple to make, great for folks on the go.

    There were 2 things that I didn't like about the way the recipe turned out. I heated the meat and cheese and it changed the texture of the lettuce. I think next time I will try this as a cold dish. Second, it was messy. This could have been caused by not seeding the tomatoes or by the lettuce being too soft.

    Despite the not so good things I experienced with this recipe, I would definitely recommend trying it with your own variations. It is an excellent dish :

    This recipe was good! It was fun to snack on when you're hungry but not too hungry. My friends liked it as well.

    These are excellent and very easy to make. I make them and keep them on hand for myself and my daughter. Makes a great, healthy snack.
