Black Bean and Mango Salsa Lettuce Wraps
Use lower-carb butter lettuce as a substitute for a tortilla wrap. If you don’t like your food spicy, substitute the jalapeno for chopped green bell pepper.

Directions
-

Alternative Serving Suggestion: Use jicama instead of lettuce for the serving vessel. Peel the jicama and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then slice the rounds into triangles (eighths) to resemble tortilla chips. Serve like chips and salsa using the raw jicama “chips” instead of tortilla chips.
