Tropical Guacamole and Black Bean Lettuce Burrito Bowls
Our Tropical Guacamole and Black Bean Lettuce Burrito Bowls are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite Mexican flavors. These bowls are made with fresh, organic romaine lettuce cups, grilled marinated tofu, tropical guacamole, canned black beans, chopped white onion, fresh cilantro leaves, avocado oil, and lime wedges. The guacamole is made with ripe avocados, diced mango, chopped red onion, and cilantro. It's seasoned with lime juice, salt, and pepper. The black beans are rinsed and drained, and the grilled tofu is patted dry. The bowls are assembled by placing a lettuce cup on a plate and filling it with desired amounts of fillings. The bowls are then drizzled with avocado oil and served with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of brightness and flavor.
The inspiration for our Tropical Guacamole and Black Bean Lettuce Burrito Bowls came from a trip to Mexico City. We were exploring the city's vibrant street food scene when we came across a vendor selling these bowls. We were immediately drawn to the bright colors and fresh flavors, and we knew we had to try them. We were not disappointed. The bowls were delicious, and we couldn't wait to share them with our readers. We've adapted the recipe slightly to make it easier to prepare at home, but the flavors are just as authentic. We hope you enjoy these bowls as much as we do!

Why It Works
The combination of fresh, organic romaine lettuce cups, grilled marinated tofu, tropical guacamole, canned black beans, chopped white onion, fresh cilantro leaves, avocado oil, and lime wedges creates a delicious and healthy meal.
The guacamole is made with ripe avocados, diced mango, chopped red onion, and cilantro. It's seasoned with lime juice, salt, and pepper, which gives it a bright and flavorful taste.
The black beans are rinsed and drained, and the grilled tofu is patted dry. This helps to remove excess moisture and prevents the bowls from becoming watery.
