Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps
These vegetarian lettuce wraps with quinoa, black beans, and corn are the perfect meal for hot summer days. They’re super light, extremely healthy, vegan, and pretty easy to make! One of my favorite summer meals! Top them with a little bit of sriracha for extra spiciness!
I LOVE wraps! They make such an easy and delicious lunch. And why not just use lettuce instead of tortilla wraps once in a while?! This makes them even healthier and it’s just as easy. I usually use Romaine lettuce for these vegetarian lettuce wraps, but you could also use collard greens or kale instead.
Romaine lettuce has not only the perfect-sized leaves for lettuce wraps, but it’s also pretty good for you. For example, it’s a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and iron. It also contains magnesium and calcium. In combination with quinoa and black beans, these vegetarian lettuce wraps are SUPER HEALTHY and packed with protein. And I also added chopped fresh parsley, which is very rich in iron and thus perfect for vegans and vegetarians.
