FAQ

  • Can I use different types of lettuce?

    Yes, Romaine and Butter lettuce are great choices. You can also use Iceberg, but it doesn't hold up as well.
  • Can I prepare these ahead of time?

    Yes, but it's best to assemble them just before eating to prevent the lettuce from getting soggy. You can prepare the ingredients separately and assemble them when ready.
  • What other toppings can I add?

    Consider adding sliced bell peppers, onions, olives, or a sprinkle of keto-friendly hot sauce.
