- juice of 5–6 limes (totaling 1/3 to 1/2 cup lime juice)

Preparation
Chef’s notes
Cooked rice and quinoa:
I often use just a cup or so of the precooked packages like Seeds of Change – and it’s optional to add this in, but I like it because it makes the lettuce wraps feel more satisfying since it adds a carb element to the mix.
