My Roasted Corn Lettuce Wraps is one of those easy swap out the meat meals I told you about yesterday.
I make this as a salad with shrimp or grilled chicken for the husband. I

You can also top it with some Mexican

If you don't want it spicy, omit the Serrano chili or at least remove the seeds from the chili.
I know I showed a lot of pictures, that's because I am hungry, and I am ready to eat!
This is a quick, simple, and flavorful dish, that I promise, even the biggest meat eater will enjoy!
