Using bell peppers and lettuce for Fiesta Lettuce Wraps is a fun way to increase vegetables on the plate. Lettuce leaves and mini peppers are perfect for a build-your-own Southwestern meal or as appetizers.
Ingredients
  • 6 sweet, mini bell peppers
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup instant brown rice, dry
  • 1 lb tilapia filets, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 2 tsp Southwest chipotle seasoning, no-sodium
  • 2 tbsp canola oil, divided
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 limes, divided
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • Salsa Fresca:
  • ½ cup yellow corn, frozen or canned, no-salt added
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Slice peppers in half vertically. Arrange lettuce and 8 pepper halves on a serving platter.
  2. Cook brown rice according to package directions.
  3. To make salsa fresca, dice remaining pepper halves, tomato, and onion; mix with corn, garlic, and jalapeño pepper, and ¼ tsp salt.
  4. Sprinkle both sides of tilapia filets with Southwest chipotle seasoning.
  5. Heat 1½ tbsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side (cook fish until it is opaque, 145 ºF). Flake with a fork and place in a serving dish.
  6. When rice is done, stir in remaining ½ tbsp oil, juice from one lime, and ¼ tsp salt. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  7. To serve, set out pepper-lettuce platter, rice, fish, salsa fresca, sour cream, and lime, and let diners build their own boats and wraps.
Notes
Serve with an 8 oz glass of fat-free (skim) milk. Substitute brown rice with another quick cooking grain, such as whole-wheat couscous if desired.
