Black Bean Lettuce Bundles

I liked this because it replaces the tortillas with Romaine Lettuce. I did serve tortillas for the rest of my family. I thoroughly enjoyed the crunchiness of the green pepper in the dish. Also, by placing the lettuce on the table whole, my 2 year son hit a milestone and ate lettuce for the first time in his life!
 
2 c. black beans
1/2 large avocado, mashed
1/2 green pepper
3 scallions
1/3 c. cilantro
2 T. lime juice
1 tsp. cumin
1/3 c. mild salsa
8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
 
Mash together the beans and avocado.  Add remaining ingredients. Serve bean mixture in lettuce leaves like a tortilla.
