Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, avocado, garlic, cumin, lime juice and salt and pepper. Stir/mash until there are no more lumps of avocado and everything is well mixed.
Lay out the lettuce leaves and spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture onto each leaf. Divide the yellow bell pepper, carrots, purple onion and basil (if using) among each wrap, layering them on the tuna.
Gently roll the lettuce leaf around the tuna and veggies, tightly wrapping it all the way around. If needed, place a toothpick in the center to hold the wrap closed. Enjoy!
