These are some lettuce wraps worth crossing the Rubicon for. Crunchy lettuce holds a bed of classic Caesar flavors, turkey, and tomato. These beauts are topped by nutty Parmesan and crushed up croutons, for an extra umph of homage to the salad that shares the name with the long dead general and dictator. One bite of these cups, and you'll be calling them Caesar-irrific. (That's not really a thing.)
