Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (large, sturdy leaves for wrapping)
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 medium (diced) Zucchini
- 0.5 medium (diced) Red onion
- 1 large (sliced) Avocado
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 large (juiced) Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set them aside to use as wraps.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add cauliflower rice to the skillet along with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is softened and the spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the cooked filling to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
Assemble the burritos by placing one or two romaine leaves flat on a plate. Spoon a portion of the cauliflower rice mixture into the center of the leaves.
Top the filling with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Drizzle the juice of a lime evenly over the fillings for a fresh, zesty flavor.
Gently fold the sides of the romaine leaf over the fillings to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy!
