Cilantro-Lime Black Bean Lettuce Wraps
Black bean lettuce wraps are an easy no-cook lunch or dinner idea. The black bean filling is full of flavor from bell peppers, green onions, lime juice, cilantro, and chili seasonings. It’s a great recipe to make ahead for easy meals during the week.
These cilantro-lime black bean lettuce wraps are one of my favorite no-cook meal prep recipes. The filling is a simple mixing operation and then you leave it in the fridge so all the flavors meld. When it’s time to eat, just grab your lettuce leaves, spoon in the filling, and enjoy. So simple.
Ingredients
- Black beans
- Bell pepper
- Green onion
- Cilantro
- Chili powder
- Ground cumin
- Lime juice
- Salt and pepper
- Lettuce leaves
How to Make Black Bean Lettuce Wraps
☑️ Mix
Combine the beans, veggies, seasonings, and lime juice in a large bowl.
☑️ Chill
Refrigerate the black bean mixture for at least a couple of hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
☑️ Serve
When you’re ready to serve them, spoon the filling into the lettuce leaves. I like to add some sour cream and salsa as topping.
☑️ Storage
These black bean lettuce wraps are great for meal prep. Mix up the filling, store it in an airtight container, and it will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Just keep the lettuce leaves separate so they don’t get soggy.
