Lettuce wraps are super easy to make and you can fill them with just about anything. I regularly use the whole leaves (without slicing & rolling as I have in this recipe) as a substitute for wrap bread and fill them with my usual favourites; egg salad, grilled fish & avocado, tuna & four bean mix, LSA Chicken Bites.. and this chicken & avocado combo is a yummy weekly regular.

....

100g – skinless chicken breast, cooked & cut into 3cm thick strips*
½ cup – cucumber slices
1 – medium sized tomato, sliced
3 - lettuce leaves

Guacamole:
70g – avocado
The juice from ½ of a lemon
Pinch of salt & pepper

*I brown my chicken in a very lightly greased pan & then add about ¼ - ½ cup of water & pop the lid on to cook them through, every now and again I will add another dash of water when it has evaporated.

 ....
Guacamole:
Combine all of the guacamole ingredients and mash together with a folk.

.......

...........
Make incisions around the stalk of the lettuce to help gently remove a few of the outer layers, keeping them intact.

...........

..........
Cut and divide the lettuce leaves into three pieces (or you could divide them into 5 – 6 pieces & make mini lettuce rolls)

Layer the ingredients and top with a generous spoonful of guacamole.

 Enjoy.
