Ingredients

• 8 pieces large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 pound Whole30-compliant chicken sausage
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 large avocado
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and remove the pit from the avocado, then mash it in a bowl with a fork. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 3 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Slice the Whole30-compliant chicken sausage into bite-sized pieces. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned.

Step 6

Meanwhile, carefully remove the outer leaves from the romaine lettuce heads. Rinse them and pat dry.

Step 7

To assemble the burrito, take one romaine lettuce leaf and fill it with a spoonful of the sausage mixture. Add a spoonful of mashed avocado and a few halved cherry tomatoes on top.

Step 8

Roll the lettuce leaf tightly around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

Step 9

Enjoy your healthy and satisfying Whole30 Sausage Burrito!
