What You’ll Need:

For the “bacon:”

2 c thick, unsweetened coconut shreds

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp Tamari

1 tsp paprika

1 Tbsp PURE maple syrup

1 tsp liquid smoke (if you can’t find this, don’t stress!)

Pinch sea salt

Parchment paper

For the wraps:

1 avocado, sliced

2 tomatoes, halved & sliced

1 head Bibb or romaine lettuce

OPTIONAL: thin slices of red onion


Preheat oven to 325*

Mix ingredients for “bacon” in a medium bowl, toss to coat. If you can’t find liquid smoke, no biggie, just omit! Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper & pop into the oven for 6 minutes.

.While coconut transforms, prepare wrap ingredients.

When timer goes off for the bacon, remove, stir & pop back into the oven for a final 4 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Assemble lettuce cups by generously filling with bacon & tomato slices. Add a few avocado slices and onion, if desired. Be prepared to blow your own damn mind.

Makes 15-20 lettuce cups, serving 2

(yes yes, we know this sounds like a big portion. trust us, you’ll wish there were more!)
