Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
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.
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.
Meanwhile, carefully remove the outer leaves from the romaine lettuce heads. Rinse them and pat dry.
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.
Roll the lettuce leaf tightly around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Enjoy your healthy and satisfying Whole30 Sausage Burrito!
