Lettuce Wraps


One of my favorite light meals is Lettuce Wraps which JB made for me when we first started dating. They can made as a meal, a side, or as an appetizer! The following recipe makes enough for 5-6 servings.

JB's Lettuce Wraps

Romaine or Butter Lettuce with leaves separated
1 can of rinsed Black Beans
1 small can of Corn or One Corn on the Cob with the kernels cut off
1 Zucchini sliced in half moons
2 Bunches of Broccoli with florets removed from stem
1/2 Red Onion diced
1 Red Pepper diced
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper diced (optional)
Olive Oil
Cilantro
1 Avocado sliced

Saute vegetables in Olive Oil then transfer to a large bowl and mix with finely chopped cilantro, cracked black pepper, and sea salt. Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture into the lettuce leaves. Top with sliced avocado and serve!
