These are definitely an adaptation of the traditional pork larb lettuce wraps, but true to Taste Safari style, I have bought a bit more zing to the flavours. These went down a storm and they are so light, but oh Lord, so so satisfying! I thought these would be perfect for my next road trip as you simply pack the mince, crispy lettuce leaves and the omelette all separately and just pull it all together when your desire for that light bite overwhelms you!

Serves 4 people

(I would estimate each adult will have at least three wraps – my little six and eight year old hoovered away two each with no problems!)
