These tuna lettuce wraps have become one of my go-to lunches as they’re delicious, quick, easy and to prepare and though I no longer follow a low carb diet, I love making them as I enjoy them so much.
They are made by combining tuna, mayonnaise, chopped red onions and chopped cucumbers which is then added to some lettuce leaves and topped with grated carrots and avocados.
