Avocado Wrap

1 avocado, diced
1 small yellow onion finely chopped
4-6 romaine lettuce leaves

I didn’t know how badly I was craving avocado until I was in the grocery store this morning. I bought three and prepared a simple dish with avocado and yellow onion.

I wrapped it in romaine lettuce. The lettuce was freshly picked from my garden. I’ll take pictures later, but I think I’ll add grated carrots to the mix. I want a hint of sweetness. It was a simple dish, and my daughter, as well as I, loved it!

Question: What have you been craving?

    How ironic! I woke up thinking about avos this morning and made a fresh guac with tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, garlic and lime juice. I wrapped it up into lettuce leaves and ate it for breakfast! Reading your post made my mouth water for more…can’t wait to get home and eat some for dinner.
    Post a photo!

    Dana,
    I made more today. They are definitely delicious. I was posting the photo as you sent the message. :-) I included it in another post.

    Some people won’t like this because of wheat and dairy, but on a similar note:
    2 slices wheat berry bread
    cream cheese
    avocado, sliced
    hummus, liberal
    alfalfa sprouts
    black olives, sliced
    grated carrot
    jalapeno or serrano slices

    My favorite sandwhich. When I lived in Denver in the mid 80s some health food restaurant must have had a deal with the local 7-11 franchises, because all the 7-11s carried these fresh in the cooler. I was hooked and still am.

    mlankton,
    I have seen similar things in our 7-11’s. I live in Maryland. I don’t think anyone will have a problem with it although I’m vegan I don’t expect everyone to eat the way I do.

    I don’t think I’ve ever had a serrano pepper before.

    A little hotter and perhaps less flavorful than a jalapeno. Very prolific in Mexico. More widely used throughout Mexico than the jalapeno.

    mlankton,
    Thanks! I’ll have to check it out. When I’m in the grocery store I usually select the habanero, jalapeno, and banana peppers. I’ll try them out next time I go grocery shopping. I love spicy food.
