Title: Avocado and Egg Breakfast Tacos Using Lettuce Wraps
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
– 1 ripe avocado
– 2 large eggs
– 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
– 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes (optional)
– 1 tablespoon diced red onion (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, adding lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
2. In a small non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
3. While the eggs are cooking, rinse the Romaine lettuce leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry using a paper towel.
4. Once the eggs are cooked, assemble your tacos. Take one lettuce leaf and spread a spoonful of the mashed avocado onto it.
5. Place one cooked egg on top of the avocado in each lettuce leaf.
6. If desired, add chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and diced red onion for additional flavor and texture.
7. Fold the lettuce leaf like a taco and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.
