Why You'll Love Making This

These wraps are fresh, light, and full of flavor. They offer a healthy alternative to traditional tacos by using crisp lettuce instead of tortillas. Perfect for a quick meal or a nutritious snack.

Better Cooking Tips

- Use iceberg or romaine lettuce for a sturdy wrap that holds fillings well.
- Warm the filling slightly before assembling to keep everything tasty and inviting.
- Add a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 1

Warm some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it, stirring often, until it becomes soft and translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Add the garlic next and cook for another couple of minutes until you can really smell the aroma.

Step 2

Now, stir in the garbanzo beans along with the taco seasoning and cumin, mixing everything well. Pour in the chicken broth, cover the pan, and bring it to a gentle boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for around 10 minutes until the beans are nice and soft.

Step 3

Once everything is cooked, mash the mixture right in the skillet with a potato masher until it’s mostly smooth but still has a little texture. Taste it and add salt and pepper as needed.

Step 4

Carefully pull apart the lettuce leaves to create little cups, then spoon the bean mixture into each one. Finish them off with some sliced avocado, diced tomato, and olives for a fresh, tasty touch.

Serving Style Ideas

Serve alongside a fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping. They pair well with a side of black beans or corn salad. These wraps also make a great appetizer at gatherings.

How To Preserve This Dish

Store the filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the lettuce leaves separate and dry to prevent wilting. Assemble just before eating for the best texture.
