Ingredients
- 6 Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1/4-1/2 cup cooked rice (or other grain of choice)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 14oz Pinto beans
- 4-6 slices tomato
- 2 tbsp Sour Cream or Greek yogurt
- hot sauce
For the pinto beans
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Warm pinto beans over medium heat with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cumin in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until slightly softened so they can be crushed with a fork (add 1-2 tbsp water if needed to help soften).
- Lay down a rectangular piece of parchment paper, make sure its larger than the romaine lettuce leaves.
- Lay down romaine leaves, slightly overlapping, on the parchment paper, creating almost one large lettuce leaf wrap - about two rows lettuce leaves, 3 leaves each.
- Then, layer rice, ¼-½ cup smashed beans, tomato slices, avocado slices, sour cream and hot sauce.
- Roll from the short end of the lettuce up and over to create a lettuce wrap that looks like a burrito. Then, bring the parchment paper up to roll around the entire wrap, folding in the ends as you go. Slice in half and enjoy.
Notes
- Want to use another type of bean? Try black beans.
- Easily substitute the beans with another favourite protein like chicken or try just adding cheese!
