A chicken Caesar salad is a timeless classic, only made better (and more portable!) in a wrap. Our best tips for greatness: Make your own croutons, but use store-bought Caesar dressing.

Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

We're not gonna lie; sometimes lettuce wraps can be a little… lackluster. Not these! We keep it simple, taking inspiration from buffalo wing staples—like blue cheese dressing and crunchy carrot and celery sticks—and replace them with sliced celery and fresh crumbled blue cheese.

Although these shortcut falafel aren’t as crispy as the classic fried variety, they develop a nice golden crust and contain all the key spices. A zippy roasted pepper salad is the perfect foil, and creamy tahini sauce (aka tarator sauce) ties it all together.

This Buffalo chicken wrap is just as easy to customize as it is to make. Feel free to adjust the spices to add more or less heat, swap out the slaw for lettuce, the blue cheese sauce with ranch dressing, or use cauliflower or tofu instead of meat. For the mayo-haters out there, try Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.

Ticket for one to Greece please! What's that? Too expensive? Sigh. We'll have to settle for these epically tasty homemade sandwiches.

Chicken Shawarma

Shawarma refers to the Middle Eastern method of cooking where thin slices of meat are stacked on a vertical rotating spit in front of a fire or other heat source. The outside meat is slowly cooked and then shaved off to serve. Our version varies a little by being baked in the oven but still mimics the traditional tender, juicy, and well-spiced meat.

In our attempt to copy the fan favorite from P.F. Chang's, we flavored ground chicken with hoisin sauce (a fermented bean paste that gives the chicken the quintessential Chinese-American flavor), soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Water chestnuts add a nice crunch here too.

"Cilantro-lime" is a flavor profile we can never get enough of. Cilantro-lime salmon, cilantro-lime chicken wings, cilantro-lime rice… we’ve done it all.

Caramelized Tofu Lettuce Cups

Sweet, sour, and salty, these lettuce cups are ripe for improvisation and can be served with all sorts of accompaniments. Crunchy raw vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots can add heft, and a drizzle of chili oil is a must for spice lovers. And if lettuce isn’t cutting it, a heaping spoonful of rice is a perfect pairing.
