Nobody knows for sure where the club sandwich came from or how it got its name, but it’s certainly popular, and it’s not hard to see why.
Crispy bacon and tender chicken with juicy tomato slices and creamy mayonnaise make for a pretty delicious combination – even better here in a lettuce wrap instead of between two slices of bread.
There’s no hard-and-fast rule about what type of lettuce is best for wrapping. Iceberg is a classic, but butter lettuce is also very nice because the leaves are a little more flexible, which minimizes the chance of tearing.
Err on the side of making many smaller wraps instead of trying to make them too big. It also helps to wrap your fillings in many layers of leaves – use more than you think you’ll need, so if one breaks, it’s not such a big deal.
Small club sandwich wraps would be perfect finger food for a party or just great as a quick weekend lunch after a late breakfast. Serve them with fries or a bowl of soup, and enjoy!
