Ingredients
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (large, sturdy pieces)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 cup Zucchini (diced)
- 0.5 cup Black beans (cooked, rinsed, and drained)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions
Step 1
1. Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, making sure they are intact and large enough to serve as burrito wraps. Set aside.
Step 2
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 3
3. In a separate bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and mix well.
Step 4
4. Lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the cooked cauliflower rice into the center of each leaf.
Step 5
5. Add the mixed veggie and black bean filling on top of the cauliflower rice.
Step 6
6. Place 1-2 slices of avocado on each lettuce leaf.
Step 7
7. Gently fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward and roll it up like a burrito. Be careful not to overfill to prevent tearing.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately with salsa on the side, if desired.
