Lettuce Wraps

It is day three of my Dr. Sebi challenge. After watching one of his videos, I decided to try his food plan for one week eating all alkaline foods. An alkaline diet helps balance the body's pH levels. By eating more alkaline and less acidic foods, studies show that this can help prevent plaque formation in blood vessels, prevent kidney stones, build stronger bones, and much more. This Thursday will be the end of my challenge week, and I will post a detailed review. I created this recipe using only food items from his nutrition list. It is a simple and easy vegan recipe, and the taste and texture make it the perfect meat substitute. 
 

Not only did I use my homemade guacamole for this recipe, it was a great snack paired with fresh cucumbers as well.

Meaty, flavorful, filling, and only six ingredients!
