Black Bean, Corn, And Roasted Red Pepper Lettuce Cups
Lettuce cups are a fantastic vehicle for a satisfying, quick, and fun family meal. Their fresh crunch and mild flavor tastes great alongside a luscious filling of black beans, corn, jarred roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, and mango.
Looking for a one-bowl, no-cook, no-fuss recipe that’s easy enough for lunch but elegant enough for a dinner party? For these tasty vegan lettuce cups, all you have to do here is combine the filling ingredients, then rinse and trim a bunch of romaine lettuce hearts, and you’re ready to go. The easiest way to serve these lettuce cups is to pile the filling in the middle of a platter, surround it with romaine, and let everyone make their own, but you can also pack the filling and romaine in separate containers and take them with you as a light work lunch or fun picnic side.
