Crisp lettuce leaves make a great vehicle for savory meat and creamy avocado chunks. Ground beef is just a suggestion, ground turkey, chicken, or pork can also be used. Serves 8.

- 1 pound ground beef, low fat
- 1 minced jalapeno
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce, optional
- 1 head bibb lettuce, about 16 leaves
Directions:
In a large skillet add 1/4 cup oil and cook the hamburger meat over high heat until brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and toss with herbs, avocado chunks, lime juice, and fish sauce.
Serve in leaves of lettuce with extra fresh herbs and slices of lime on the side.

Avocado and Beef Lettuce Wraps Review by Melody on June 16th, 2012:
Very nice: I think a little salt and pepper helps as well. We've also added some pieces of crisp apple to the salad which is quite interesting.
