Ingredients

  • 2 medium/large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 1 yellow bell pepper julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 1 medium mango diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chives or green onions minced
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • lime wedges for topping
  • white sesame seeds for topping

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter for whole30
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons red chili paste
  • 1-3 teaspoons lemongrass paste to taste
  • 2-4 tablespoons water
  • 4 large medjool dates pitted
  • 1-2 large knobs of fresh ginger to taste
  • 1-2 medium garlic cloves

Instructions

  • Puree ingredients for sauce in a high speed blender until completely smooth.
  • Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove. Cook cubed sweet potatoes on medium heat in a little water or oil until soft- I cook mine about 15 minutes until golden on the outsides. Add half the sauce and cook for another 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then set aside.
  • In a bowl add julienned peppers, cilantro, chives, diced mango, the rest of sauce and toss.
  • Wash and prepare lettuce leaves. I layer two leaves per wrap. Then layer on a scoop of the mango pepper slaw, sweet potatoes, and top off with sesame seeds, more chives, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Makes about 10-12 wraps

Notes

Protein: If you want more protein, you can sub half the sweet potatoes for chicken breast cubes or ground chicken.
