Arrange fillings: Place a few pieces of lettuce near the bottom edge of the rice paper. On top of the lettuce, add a small amount of your desired fillings. A good combination might include a few strips of carrot and cucumber, a slice or two of avocado, and your choice of protein (shrimp, tuna, chicken, egg, or crab sticks). Do not overfill.

Fold and roll: Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up and over the fillings, tucking it in tightly. Then, fold in the left and right sides of the wrapper towards the center. Starting from the bottom, roll the wrapper up tightly towards the top to form a compact cylinder. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Serve: Arrange the finished veggie rolls on a serving platter. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. If not serving immediately, cover loosely with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
