We've transferred the great flavors of enchiladas to something a little more healthy, but just as crunchy and a whole lot of fun: lettuce wraps. Tasty pork, with enchilada sauce, fresh vegetables like tomatoes and green bell peppers, and some classic topping like cheese and sour cream, all in the crunch-crunch-crunch goodness. Like an enchilada, but even better.
