Melissa Urban, co-creator of Whole30, suggests using butter lettuce leaves as a Whole30 complaint alternative to a traditional tortilla wrap. Melissa creates nutrient-dense turkey pinwheels by stuffing the lettuce leaves with colorful fruits and vegetables. She then serves them with a basil pesto dipping sauce for the final flavor explosion.
