Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz (56 g) lettuce (Iceberg or Romaine work best)
  • ½ medium avocado, sliced
  • 1 cherry tomato, halved
  • 1 oz (28 g) Edam cheese, sliced
  • ½ oz (14 g / 0.49 oz) butter, softened
  • Choose crisp, sturdy lettuce varieties like Iceberg, Romaine, or Butter lettuce for the best wrap that won't fall apart.
  • Boost the protein by adding sliced deli turkey, grilled chicken, or a hard-boiled egg.
  • For extra flavor and texture, add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning or a few slices of crisp cucumber.
  • Ensure your lettuce is completely dry before assembling to prevent a soggy wrap.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Gently rinse and thoroughly pat dry your lettuce leaves. Select the largest, most cup-shaped leaves to act as the 'bread' for your wrap and lay them flat on a plate.
  3. Spread the softened butter evenly over the inside surface of the lettuce leaves.
  4. Arrange the slices of cheese, avocado, and the halved cherry tomato down the center.
  5. Fold the sides over the filling and enjoy immediately for the best crunch.
