Sweet n' Spicy Lettuce Wraps

These bad boys are a bit messy but super refreshing and bursting with flavor! They actually got my nose to drip, which is a sign of a good meal;) Perfect for a hot florida day...

Get that food processor, and throw in:
2 Garlic cloves
1 Vine-ripe tomato
1/2 Jalapeño
A big slice of red onion
1/2 Handful of fresh cilantro
1 Skinned lime (pulp and all)
A few cracks of salt and pepper
A shake of chili powder
A shake of garlic powder

Process until it's not quite puréed, and pour into a mixing bowl...


Then, peel and chop up a ripe mango and 1/4 pineapple. Throw them into the bowl, add 2 tablespoons agave nectar, and toss it all together.



Lay romaine leaves onto a plate and scoop a nice portion of the mango salsa onto each of the leaves.
Slice up 1/2 avocado and place on top of the salsa.



Finally, garnish with a dash of chili powder and raw sunflower seeds.

These things are freakin delicious!
