Black Bean Mango Salsa Lettuce Wraps are fun, tasty and the perfect light dinner or lunch. Bibb lettuce is the perfect holder for these vegan lettuce wraps stuffed with a summery salsa. Vegan & Gluten Free.
Hello there friends!
Was your weekend relaxing and filled with lots of sunshine and fun?
Well the first half of the weekend here was a bit on the warm side and you basically just need to be in the comfort of some air conditioning....but it did cool off a bit for the second half.
So when it's steamy hot outside it's always nice when you don't have to turn on the stove.
VEGAN LETTUCE WRAPS
Made with Black Bean Mango Salsa are perfect for that...no stove required and minimal effort involved.
Cause as much as I love cooking...and eating...sometimes life just throws you a curve ball or a heat wave and you may just need a break.
And since my weekend kind of ended on a sad note these lettuce wraps are just the perfect recipe when you want something tasty, healthy, & quick.
While a lot of time I do find comfort in the kitchen. And creating recipes just brings me a little inner peace...
Sometimes it's really quite Okay to just switch it up from time to time
So cheers to peace, happy memories, and being thankful for what you have in the moment.
Cause my friends life is really full of so many of those curve balls.
But I'm good with that...curve balls keep you in check and sometimes you just need those little reminders to help balance things out.
Okey-dokey Guys now I guess I should get back to the recipe at hand...cause that's probably why you're here. Not at all for my ramblings about life..Haha!
And these Black Bean Wraps are....
- Healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare
- Perfect for the warmer temperatures
- Can easily be made ahead
- The salsa keeps well covered in the fridge for up to five days
- Perfect fun Way to switch up Taco Tuesday 🙂

I'm really liking the contrast in colours, flavours and textures between the mango, black beans and avocado in particular, they look so pretty and inviting!

I love lettuce wraps! I've tried making them only with grilled salmon though. But I love your vegan version. It makes a perfect light and healthy summer meal.

The weather here was super gorgeous and then not so pretty this weekend. BUT it could have been terrible all weekend, so I won't complain! Bibb lettuce is my absolute favorite and I'm pretty much obsessed with lettuce wraps, so you KNOW I'm loving these! That black bean and mango salsa looks delicious! Perfect for summer! Cheers, friend!
