Delicious, low carb lettuce enchiladas perfect for dinnertime. Filled with black beans and paneer, these lettuce enchiladas are tantalisingly tasty and packed with protein.
Swap your traditional tortilla wraps with lettuce leaves for something lighter, fresher and healthier! These lettuce wraps give your enchiladas an extra crunch. Load your enchiladas with a double helping of cheese, filling them with strips of paneer and topping it off with a grated cheese of your choice for some added cheesy goodness.
To give your black beans and paneer a delicious flavour, use a NutriBullet to blend together a tasty green paste made with coriander and spinach. These lettuce enchiladas use a wide range of spices like cumin & coriander powder, turmeric powder, cinnamon powder and garam masala to create a truly flavourful dish

Cheese like paneer is also a great protein source for vegetarians too.
