Notes

We made a quick guacamole from scratch which consisted of mashing 2 ripe avocados, lime, tomato, salt and mixing well. If you are feeling lazy just slice some avocado on top. Avocados are delicious and perfect on this low carb lettuce wrap. Avocados are a nutritive super food full of minerals and vitamins and fiber. Super creamy and delicious and make you feel fuller longer and more satisfied due their healthy fats.
