Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2, peeled, pitted, and diced
- • ripe mango: 1, peeled and diced
- • red bell pepper: 1, thinly sliced
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • romaine lettuce leaves: 8 large leaves
- • roasted peanuts: 1/4 cup, roughly chopped
- • soy sauce: 3 tablespoons
- • peanut butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Sriracha sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic: 1 clove, minced
- • ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- • water: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Prepare the spicy peanut sauce by combining soy sauce, peanut butter, Sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Set aside for later use.
- 2 In a medium bowl, gently toss the diced avocados, mango, and sliced red bell pepper with fresh cilantro and lime juice. Stir carefully to avoid mashing the avocados.
- 3 Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a large platter, ensuring they are clean and dry. These leaves will act as the perfect crunchy vessel for your filling.
- 4 Spoon the avocado and mango mixture evenly onto the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with a generous sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts for an added crunch.
- 5 Drizzle the spicy peanut sauce over the filled lettuce wraps. If you prefer, serve the sauce on the side for dipping to control the heat level to your taste.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Zesty Avocado and Mango Lettuce Wraps are as versatile as they are delicious. Serve them as a light lunch or a refreshing appetizer at your next gathering. For a more substantial meal, pair them with a chilled noodle salad or a side of edamame seasoned with sea salt. To enhance the experience, consider serving these wraps with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, which complements the fruity mango and spicy peanut sauce. Alternatively, a sparkling water infused with lime or mint can provide a refreshing non-alcoholic option that ties the flavors together beautifully. For presentation, arrange the wraps on a large platter, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges. The vibrant colors and fresh ingredients will make this dish a showstopper at any table.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the avocado and mango filling separately from the lettuce leaves to prevent them from becoming soggy. Place the filling in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The lettuce leaves can be stored in a resealable bag with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. To maintain the quality of the spicy peanut sauce, store it in a small airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir well before using again. If the sauce thickens, simply add a splash of water to restore its original consistency. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, you can reassemble them just before serving to ensure maximum flavor and texture.
