Alternatively, you could steam them - something I often do with dumplings and other delicate creations. That might help keep your leaves intact. Just make sure, like inpatskitchen says that your filling is mostly cooked.
If you do want to cook them like a traditional stuffed cabbage, choose sturdy lettuce leaves, blanch them for just a few seconds to soften them and stuff them with a filling that is near cooked before baking or simmering on the stove top.
