Black Bean Lettuce Wraps
Adapted from Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth
- Yield: 4 1x
- Category: Main Dish
- Method: Stove
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups black beans – non-canned for healthy bonus points!
- 1/2 chopped yellow onion
- 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
- 2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- Swiss chard or butter lettuce leaves washed and dried
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop the yellow onion, garlic, and cilantro. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until well mixed. Transfer the contents to a food processor and pulse until it reaches a smooth yet firm consistency. Add water 1 Tbsp until it is moist and smooth but still firm.
- Divide it into 4 patties. Place a pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. Place patties in the pan and cover and grill for about 4 minutes on each side. Re-oil in between flips to prevent sticking. Continue cooking and flipping until they become firm and browned but not dry.
- Place half of one patty and half of each ingredient and slices of avocado and tomato onto lettuce leaves, creating around 8 wraps total. Sprinkle with just a pinch of salt & pepper to taste.
- Wrap the leaves into tight rolls and then slice in half. I found that my leaves weren’t quite big enough for the amount of filling I wanted so I just tied them up with Baker’s twine.
- Enjoy right away or pack on ice for a picnic! Makes about 8 wraps, which for us was about 4 servings.
