Meal-Prep Vegan Lettuce Wraps
For these meal-prep-friendly lettuce wraps, we swap the traditional warm filling for a cold plant-based bean salad filling loaded with fresh herbs and lemon. Topping each lettuce leaf with a little quinoa before adding the filling helps to keep the lettuce from getting soggy.

Tips
To make ahead: Cooked quinoa can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. The bean salad can be refrigerated for up to 4 days (omit the mint and save it for the wrap assembly). Assemble wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce and mint from wilting. (If you're packing them for lunch, you can do this the evening before or in the morning; refrigerate until ready to pack with an ice pack.)
