My usual schedule for the summer consists of waking up, working out, coming home and eating something super healthy for lunch. Today, I decided to use some of the things I had on hand to make lettuce wraps.
So here's what I used:
Iceburg lettuce
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of garbanzo beans
1/2 a cucumber chopped
1/2 a green bell pepper chopped
1/2 tomato chopped
1/2 avocado sliced
A few mushrooms chopped
A little olive oil
A little lemond juice
Salt and pepper to taste
So here's what you do:
1.) In a bowl, combine beans, cucumber, tomato, green bell pepper, mushrooms.
2.) Drizzle a little olive oil and lemond juice on top and toss.
3.) Add some salt and pepper to taste.
To serve:
1.) Place a scoup of bean and veggie mixture on to a piece of lettuce. Top with avocado and roll up like a burrito.
Here's how it turned out...
**A tip for canned beans...
I like to pour the entire can of beans in a strainer and rinse the beans before I eat them. You'll notice when you do this that all the preservatives and other gunk that they keep in the can will come off. It's kind of gross.
Enjoy!
