What You’ll Need
To prepare these tasty wraps, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 boiled eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions to Follow

- Next, flip the egg upright and slice again from top to bottom to create diced pieces. Place these in a mixing bowl.
- Dice the avocado and fold it into the bowl with the eggs.
- Add the lemon juice, mayonnaise, chives, salt, and pepper, then mix everything gently to keep the avocado and eggs intact.
- Spoon about ¼ cup of the mixture into each lettuce leaf, roll them up, and enjoy!
Creating these lettuce wraps not only adds a fun twist to your meal but also makes for easy portability if you’re on the go.

Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers, they’re best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the lettuce leaves separate from the egg salad mixture until you’re ready to serve to maintain their crispness. Freezing is not recommended for this dish since the texture of avocado may change. Always practice safe food handling to ensure freshness when storing any leftovers.

You can easily customize this recipe to your taste preferences. For example, if you want to add some crunch, throw in chopped nuts or seeds. Alternatively, to make it more filling, you can also mix in some shredded chicken or turkey bacon, keeping it still low-carb while enhancing the protein content.
