Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and diced tomatoes. This will create a flavorful filling to complement the avocado.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the filling to enhance the flavors. Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste preference.
- 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.
- Repeat the process with the second lettuce leaf and remaining ingredients.
- 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
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Select crisp, large lettuce leaves and a perfectly ripe avocado for the best results.
- Prevent Browning: The lime juice not only adds flavor but helps keep your avocado looking fresh and green.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the coconut-tomato mixture and slice avocados in advance to make assembly quicker.
- Wrap Technique: When rolling, fold the sides in first to prevent filling from falling out, creating a neat, compact wrap.
- Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or tofu for a more substantial meal.
- Serve Immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the vibrant flavors.
