Description
A playful take on a childhood favorite, these Big Mac Rice Paper Rolls combine familiar flavors in a fresh, light form, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- Rice paper wrappers
- Lean protein (chicken, turkey, or tofu)
- Lettuce (crisp leaves work best)
- Tomato (ripe but firm)
- Onion (thinly sliced)
- Pickles (thin spears for crunch)
- Cheddar cheese (optional, a small slice)
- Tangy sauce (like a lighter Big Mac sauce made with yogurt, mustard, and relish)
Instructions
- Prepare the lean protein of your choice by cooking it through and cutting it into thin strips. Cook with a little salt and pepper, and let it rest.
- Set up a work station with warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable.
- Place the softened wrapper on a clean surface and arrange a layer of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cooked protein in the center.
- Drizzle with a little tangy sauce.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll from the bottom up to create a tight roll.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve with extra tangy sauce for dipping.
Notes
Rolling rice paper takes a little practice; keep a damp towel nearby to cover unused wrappers. If a wrapper tears, use it for a smaller roll or fold the torn edge under.
