I like making random dinners and using lettuce as a kind of wrap for them. Things I have found this works well with include meatloaf, various forms of potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Anything au gratin, I think, would be good wrapped up in a little crisp & crunchy lettuce. It works with things that are saucy but not things that are runny.

Would also work as a lining for taco or burrito shells.

I'm not a big lettuce fan either, and I find having mine wrapped around moderate piles of flavorful meats really takes the curse off.
