Hallie's comment. If you are not that fond of cooking things in plastics (which I am not but do occasionally nevertheless) you could probably use baking parchment instead if you take care to really close the edges or possibly even just make sure the lettuce is well closed around the filling and secure any problem spots with toothpicks or skewers.
