Have you ever desired those unique flavors of Banh Mi, but, when confronted with a load of carby bread, you found yourself just moving towards the salad bar? No? No one? Bueller? Well, ok, say instead you're eating healthy, trying to fit into that swimsuit for spring break, and you just can't budget in bread. These lettuce bunches bring you an amazing and unique flavor, with a nice crunch to tie it all together. Bread-free and healthy doesn't mean forgoing any flavor. Tip: Most jalapeño seeds are found between the stem and halfway down the pepper. Slicing rounds from the tip and using to taste can lessen the spice while still enjoying all the flavor.
