Lettuce Wraps

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I omit the cashews and substitute grated jicama in place of the water chestnuts because Dale doesn't like them. I usually cut the sesame seeds in half and never make the sauce. Although, mom prefers these with the sauce so it's probably based on your personal preference.
