Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I substitute the type of lettuce?
A: Yes, you can use any crisp lettuce variety such as iceberg or romaine; just ensure it’s fresh and firm for the best texture.

Q: Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
A: It’s best to assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp. However, you can prepare the brisket in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

Q: What if I don’t like spicy food?
A: Simply omit the jalapeños or replace them with a milder pepper for a similar crunch without the heat.
