  3. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the avocado and tuna mixture, and season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir in any optional ingredients like chopped olives or a splash of hot sauce if desired.
  4. Take a few large lettuce leaves, rinsing them under cold water and patting dry. Lay the leaves flat on a plate and scoop a generous portion of the avocado and tuna salad mixture onto the center of each leaf.
  5. Fold the edges of the lettuce leaves over the filling, creating a neat wrap that’s ready to eat. Transfer your wraps to a serving platter and garnish with extra lemon wedges or chopped fresh herbs.
  6. Enjoy your wraps fresh for a crunchy texture and creamy flavor!
