  • Step 2: Prepare Toppings – While the meat cooks, prepare the cherry tomatoes by halving them and slice the avocado into thin pieces.

Notes

  • Choose butter lettuce over romaine for better cup shape and easier handling when assembling your wraps
  • Drain meat thoroughly after cooking to prevent soggy lettuce leaves that can fall apart
  • Prep all toppings before cooking meat so everything stays fresh and assembly goes quickly
  • Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning and maintain vibrant green color
