The theme for this months Creative Cooking Crew challenge was: Pickle it! We had to pickle an ingredient and incorporate it in a complete dish.

I decided to pickle one of my favorite Latin ingredients, Jalapeños!And for the complete dish, I made Beef Lettuce Wraps with Pickled Jalapeños.

I love this dish because it is very versatile and flavorful. You can make it with shrimp, chicken, turkey, crab meat, fish or even tofu for a vegetarian version.

Buen provecho!
