Lettuce Wraps
I’ve just returned from a National Soccer competition in South Carolina for my 13 year old son’s team. We had a great time with 16 boys, siblings and parents on a long bus ride and eating on the road for 6 days. You can be very creative when on the road and still stick to a pretty healthy diet but it was definitely a challenge. I am very excited to be home and be able to prepare some healthy food in my own kitchen! I found this recipe for Lettuce Wraps and think it will make the perfect summer lunch. It is super healthy, light and filling all at the same time. It is also vegetarian and gluten-free.

1/4 cup of pinto beans
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 avocado, diced
