Lettuce-Wrap Tacos With Black Beans And Corn - 20g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 5g Sugar

From: American Heart Association

When your grocery shopping moves outdoors to roadside produce stands
and parking lot farmers' markets, these recipes will get you from farm
to table in a jiffy. These tacos don't require any cooking, which makes
it easy for you to put together a quick lunch and be on your way.

Serves: 4
Serving Size: 2 tacos

1 cup canned no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
1 small Italian plum (Roma) tomato, diced
1/2 small avocado, diced
2 Tbsp snipped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
8 Bibb lettuce leaves
1/2 cup shredded low-fat Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 cup salsa (lowest sodium available)

In a small bowl, stir together the beans, corn, tomato, avocado,
cilantro, lemon juice, and chili powder.

Spoon 1/4 cup bean mixture into the center of each lettuce cup. Top
with the Monterrey Jack and salsa. For tacos, fold the sides of the
lettuce over the filling. For burritos, roll the lettuce to enclose
the filling, tucking the ends in. Secure each burrito with a toothpick.
