Romaine 'Tacos'


Romaine lettuce leaves have a perfect boat like shape and are ideal for holding a generous scoop of my favourite guacamole. While I eat 4 -6 of these 'tacos' for a meal, they would definitely make a tasty light lunch or appetizer as well.

What you'll need:
Organic fresh Romaine leaves
Avocados
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Mangos (preferably Champagne/Atulfo)
Onions or scallions (or both)
Cilantro
Garlic
Lime
Sea Salt
JalapeƱos( optional )

Prep:
Cut your Avocados and mash to desired consistency. Depending on your own preferences, mince your veggies to a size of your liking, then throw 'em all in a bowl. (See links below for Mango and Avocado Cutting tips and photos). Slice limes in half, and use a fork to juice them - directly into the bowl. I would start out with one half a lime, and add more as your taste buds require. Mix well, add salt and JalapeƱos to taste. Fill your romaine shells and enjoy!
