What Kind of Lettuce Works Best for Wraps?

Butter lettuce is your go-to for these wraps because of its cup-like shape and tender texture. Romaine can also work if you want something with more crunch, while iceberg offers crispiness but might break more easily. You want a leaf that can cradle that juicy chicken filling without tearing too quickly.
