- Scoop ¼-⅓ cup of the avocado egg salad into each wrap.
- Top with bell pepper slices, a dash of lime juice, red pepper flakes, jalapeño slices, salt, and pepper to taste. Garnish with optional spicy sprouts and/or chopped cilantro .
- Storage – Keep the egg salad separate from the lettuce wraps in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
