Spicy Chipotle Lettuce Wraps

Spicy Chipotle Lettuce Wraps
  • Sauce:
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Wraps:
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 small onions, finely chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 16 romaine lettuce leaves


  1. Blend tomato sauce, water, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chili powder, oregano, and 1 teaspoon sea salt together in a blender until sauce is smooth.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat; cook and stir onions, green bell peppers, and a pinch salt until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add ground beef and increase heat to medium-high; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  3. Mix garlic and sauce into ground beef mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir kidney beans and black beans into into ground beef sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until filling flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
  4. Spoon filling into lettuce leaves.
