Can I use canned salmon instead of tuna?

Absolutely! Salmon makes fantastic lettuce wraps too - just flake it the same way. The flavor's richer, so I like adding extra lemon juice and fresh dill when I make that swap. Honestly? Any flaky canned fish works here. My adventurous cousin even uses sardines (but we won't talk about that experiment gone wrong!).

How do I keep my wraps from getting soggy?

Oh honey, I learned this lesson the hard way! Three golden rules: 1) Drain your tuna SUPER well (press it against the can with the lid), 2) Pat those lettuce leaves bone dry after washing, and 3) If meal prepping, assemble right before eating. Store components separately with a paper towel in the container - it acts like a crispy security blanket for your greens!

Are these wraps gluten-free?

100% gluten-free as written! That's why my sister-in-law requests them constantly. Just double check your tuna brand (most are GF, but some flavored varieties sneak in wheat). Same goes for any add-ins like soy sauce or teriyaki - stick with certified GF versions if needed. The wraps naturally skip bread, making them perfect for gluten-sensitive friends!

Can I make these dairy-free?

Easier than convincing my kids to eat vegetables! Skip the Greek yogurt and use mayo or go wild with avocado mash as your creamy binder. Hummus works surprisingly well too - just thin it with a splash of lemon juice. My dairy-free bestie swears by blended silken tofu as her secret weapon!
