A pop star recently sang that it was all about that bass. (By recently we mean six years ago… plenty recent to us!) Well, these wraps are all about the crunch: the lettuce cups provided a watery delight to the teeth, and the tortilla strips a subtle snap. (And let's not sleep on the amazing flavors of southwestern Caesar salad filling up that crunch.)
