Avocado, Crab, and Jalapeno Roll-Ups


  • 2 large, ripe avocados
  • 3 large garlic cloves, roasted and smashed (or 1/2 Tbsp minced)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 2 roasted jalapeno peppers (stems and seeds removed), finely chopped
  • 1/2 lb crab meat, picked clean of shell fragments
  • 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 can (18 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • juice from 1/2 fresh lime
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • 24 leaves romaine lettuce, hearts removed
  • extra-virgin olive oil to taste (2 Tbsp?)
Halve avocados, remove pits and skins, and coarsely chop in a large, nonreactive bowl. Add roasted garlic and cumin; gently combine.

Add jalapenos, crab meat, shallots, tomatoes, and all but two tablespoons each of the cilantro and lime juice. Stir until just combined.

Arrange romaine leaves on a serving plate, and place a dollop of crab meat mixture on top of each.

Combine remaining two tablespoons of cilantro and olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt; and stir until thoroughly mixed. Drizzle the oil mixture over the lettuce before serving.

Makes 4 servings, 8 WW PointsPlus each.
