Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 large lettuce leaves
  2. 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  3. 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  4. 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  5. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  6. Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the large lettuce leaves under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Choose leaves that are large enough to hold the filling without tearing.
  2. Next, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin, even slices, ensuring they remain intact for easy layering in the wrap.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and diced tomatoes. This will create a flavorful filling to complement the avocado.
  4. Add the lime juice to the coconut and tomato mixture. This will add a zesty flavor and help to prevent the avocado from browning. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Take one of the prepared lettuce leaves and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start layering the avocado slices in the center of the leaf, followed by a generous portion of the coconut and tomato mixture.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the filling to enhance the flavors. Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste preference.
  7. Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to create a wrap. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to secure the filling inside.
  8. Repeat the process with the second lettuce leaf and remaining ingredients.
  9. Once both wraps are assembled, you can serve them immediately or refrigerate them for a short period if desired. Enjoy your Dr. Ruby's Coconut Avocado Wraps fresh for the best taste!

Tips

  1. Choose Fresh Ingredients: Select crisp, large lettuce leaves and a perfectly ripe avocado for the best results.
  2. Prevent Browning: The lime juice not only adds flavor but helps keep your avocado looking fresh and green.
  3. Prep Ahead: You can prepare the coconut-tomato mixture and slice avocados in advance to make assembly quicker.
  4. Wrap Technique: When rolling, fold the sides in first to prevent filling from falling out, creating a neat, compact wrap.
  5. Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or tofu for a more substantial meal.
  6. Serve Immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the vibrant flavors.
