NOTES:
I like to put all lettuce leaves in a bowl and surround with all the small serving dishes of taco fillings ... people are then free to grab a lettuce leaf and pile on all the fillings them selves.
My taco method is: lettuce leaf, scoop on the warm nuts, add onion mix, then avocado, then sprinkle with herb mix, and drizzle with some lemon.
I find green leaf lettuce a much better fit for this dish over iceberg as it doesn't break as easy and is less watery.
Give each person half a lemon so they can drizzle it on their finished taco for the final zest of taste... then make many more & enjoy, these are seriously so good!
