Avocado Lettuce Wrap-Ups

Brace yourself—it’s the end of the school year season. Between field trips, graduation parties, last-minute teacher gifts, and a calendar that looks more like a game of Tetris—you need food that’s fast, healthy, and won’t leave you crashing before 3 p.m. pick up.

Trust me, I know. Alea and Brayden’s school and sports schedules are absolutely insane right now! 

Therefore, make these 5-minute wraps your go-to for a snack that checks all the boxes. Fast, energizing, kid-friendly, packed with fiber and vitamins, and loaded with healthy fats and protein.

Ingredients: (Makes 2 wraps)

• 2 romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 Hass avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced, or 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons hummus. Click here for my super easy hummus recipe. 
• Smashed adzuki beans (I use Eden Organics)
• 4 large fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon red onion, diced
• Handful of sprouts or microgreens
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice Sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan pink, or Redmond Real Salt)
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Set out each romaine leaf as you would a rice paper roll or a piece of sandwich bread.
2. Smear half of the avocado or hummus into the romaine leaves and add a spoonful of smashed adzuki beans (if using).
3. Top with the rest of the diced avocado or hummus, then the cilantro, onion, and sprouts or microgreens.
4. Drizzle the lime juice on top, and season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
5. Roll the leaves to form a wrap or burrito shape, and enjoy right away.
