There are lettuce cups/wraps which are filled with diced or
shredded meat and veggies, eaten like small soft tacos. I've
never heard of bite-sized lettuce wraps, though.

Wrapping slightly larger things, like fried, grilled
beef/pork/stuffed squids in lettuce is fairly common in Vietnamese
cuisine as well.
