Ingredients
- 1-2 heads butter lettuce
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup jicama strips
- 1 mango, peeled and sliced
- Herbs to garnish - thinly slices green onion, chopped cilantro, Thai basil ribbons, mint, or a mix!
- 1 cup Peanut Sauce
- Optional protein - serve with tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a heartier meal.
Instructions
Cook the rice and prep the veggies: Cool your rice according to package directions. Chop the veggies into small dice or sticks.
Make the peanut sauce: Whisk together the peanut sauce. Toss half with the rice and set half aside to drizzle over the wraps.
Assemble: Spoon the peanut rice into the lettuce cups. Top with veggies, herbs, and a drizzle of peanut sauce.
Notes
Jicama: some stores sell whole jicama, which looks like a round tuber, or sliced jicama in the cut-veggie section of the produce department. If you can't find it, choose another crunchy vegetable like cucumber or carrot.
Brown Rice: for a quick 30 minute meal, use packaged pre-cooked brown rice.
