Ingredients
- 1 lb Low-sodium Italian chicken sausage
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1/2 Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 15 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper(optional)
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes(optional)
- 2 Green onions(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Remove sausage from casings if needed and set aside. Slice both bell peppers and onion into thin strips, mince the garlic, and rinse and dry the lettuce leaves (about 15 minutes total prep).
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 6-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes if using. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the rice vinegar and toss to combine, cooking 1 more minute.
- 5
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the sausage and pepper mixture into each lettuce cup. Drizzle with the remaining rice vinegar, top with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
