Whether gluten intolerant or looking to cut carbs, my Bahn Mi Lettuce Wraps are grain-free and so delicious that you won\u2019t even miss the bread. The wraps are packed full of grilled soy-ginger pork and tons of veggies for a meal that is refreshingly healthy and full of flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I absolutely love that Bahn Mi is the fusion of two radically different cultures – Vietnamese and French and I try to preserve that juxtaposition in this recipe as best as possible (but without the baguette). I think I\u2019ve pulled it off well. These wraps are simply divine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To start, place one pound of boneless pork chops in a ziplock bag along with a marinade made of \u215b cup of soy sauce, one tablespoon of sesame oil, one tablespoon of brown sugar, one tablespoon of rice vinegar and \u00bd teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the pork chops marinate, wash one head of butter lettuce and gently peel off the leaves, keeping them whole.\u00a0 Set aside to dry.\u00a0 Thinly slice 4-5 radishes and one jalapeno and set aside.\u00a0 Chop a handful of cilantro and set aside.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the pork is ready, heat a grill to 400 deg F and cook the pork chops until well done.\u00a0 The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your pork chops, so use a meat thermometer such as this one<\/a> to monitor doneness.\u00a0 Pork is fully cooked at 145 deg F.\u00a0 When fully cooked, remove the pork from the grill and onto a plate.\u00a0 Cover the meat with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the pork rests, cube one large avocado and add it to a bowl with 4 teaspoons of soy sauce.\u00a0 Stir gently then set aside.\u00a0 Next, thinly slice the pork against the grain.<\/span><\/p>\n

To assemble the wraps, take two leaves of butter lettuce and lay them on a plate so that they overlap a little (at the ends) to make for a longer wrap.\u00a0 Place a few slices of pork on the lettuce, then top with the desired amount of toppings – the radish slices, pickled carrots (recipe can be found here<\/a>), jalapeno slices, seasoned avocado, cilantro and a dollop or two of mayonnaise.\u00a0 Roll the wraps up tight like a burrito and enjoy!\u00a0 This recipe serves four.<\/span><\/p>\n
