Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 large red bell pepper diced
- 1 large green onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Lettuce leaves (I like butter lettuce or romaine) for serving
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients (except the lettuce) in a large bowl. Refrigerate the black bean filling for at least a couple of hours. Give the filling a taste after it's chilled and add more salt if you think it needs it.
- Spoon the filling into the lettuce leaves for serving.
Notes
Optional toppings and garnishes: You can dress the lettuce wraps up with some sour cream and salsa. Sometimes I make a quick sauce with a few spoonfuls of sour cream, chopped cilantro and enough lime juice so the sauce is easy to drizzle over the filling.
Storage: The black bean filling will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. If you are making the wraps for meal prep, keep the lettuce leaves separated until you're ready to serve the wraps.
