One-Pan Bean & Poblano Lettuce Wraps
with Radish Tomato Salsa, Cheese & Guacamole
- Milk
Lettuce celebrate! Dinner tonight has rich black beans and peppery poblanos in a savory, Tex-Mex sauce balanced by cheese (two kinds!), plus creamy guac and tangy sour cream (yay!)—it’s like having tacos but with crisp romaine leaves in place of carby tortillas (heck, yeah!). Top the wraps with a zippy salsa that’s got finely diced radishes for some extra crunch and pop (mmm hmm!). Rejoice in this one-pan wonder and feel free to fist pump after every bite.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Finely dice tomato. Trim and finely dice radishes. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop cilantro. Core, deseed, and dice poblano into ½-inch pieces. Drain and rinse beans. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, radishes, scallion greens, half the cilantro, and 1 tsp vinegar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano, scallion whites, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in beans, Tex-Mex paste, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4). Cook until beans are warmed through and water has absorbed, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in Mexican cheese until melted (save the Monterey Jack for serving).
• Divide lettuce leaves between plates. Fill with bean filling. Top with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, Monterey Jack, and remaining cilantro. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
These bean and pepper lettuce wraps were delicious. I don't like radishes, but I thought I'd try them in this recipe, and they were great. I made a side of cilantro lime rice to round out the meal. I also appreciated the convenience of this being a one-pan recipe.
Loved these. Only because eating messy falling apart lettuce wraps is a pet peeve of mine, I do what I always do with lettuce wraps and cut that bitch up and make it into a large salad! Voila! No mess, all the flavor, everyone wins.
The beans and salsa were great but the lettuce pieces were so small.. there simply was no way to make a wrap!! Also my radishes were squishy.
I was skeptical at first, but the poblano added that heat that is perfect! And we loved the tomato/radish salsa! Very fresh and satisfying!! Just one thing... I always have tomatoes on my cupboard ripening, and I always have to swap out the unripe tomato you send for my perfectly ripe ones!! For people who don't always have tomatoes on hand their food cannot taste as rich full or sweet with an unripe tomato!!
This was AMAZING. Surprised us. Very very good/tasty. Would absolutely order again. Liked better than the meat-based lettuce wraps we had a few weeks ago.
I chopped the lettuce and used it as a lettuce bowl because the romaine I get is consistently too small to make effective lettuce wraps in. Having said that it was delicious!
A fulfilling vegetarian meal. I was pleasantly surprised of the flavor of the radish tomato salsa. This will be an added meal for my dinner rotation.
I usually want meat with every meal but really enjoyed this dish. Didn't even need the lettuce. I could have just eaten a big bowl of this beans!
Loved the radish salsa! Easy peasy! Added shredded BBQ turkey to meet my protein requirements. Omitted beans. Def a keeper
