Lettuce Wraps

  1. Transfer plant-based walnut meat to a nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are cooked and mixture is lightly browned. Add cheese to the pan and stir until cheese is slightly melted and incorporated. Let cool.

  2. Place lettuce leaves on your plate or serving platter and top with hummus, couscous, plant-based walnut meat, tomatoes and green onion. Serve immediately.

    NOTE: You can also pack the lettuce wrap ingredients into a bento box to assemble and eat later. Simply pack the prepared plant-based walnut meat, bib lettuce leaves, hummus and other vegetable toppings separately into bento containers.
