A Few Pointers

• Wash and dry the lettuce leaves well; water makes them tear and the filling slide.
• If you want more heat, add sliced jalapeño to the salsa.
• Double up the leaves if they are small or thin.

Ingredient Swaps

• Lemon is the everyday swap for lime in this kind of dish — the acidity plays the same role even though the flavour is not identical.
• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.
• Fresh herbs work in place of the dried oregano at roughly three times the quantity — a teaspoon of dried is about a tablespoon of fresh, chopped.

What to Serve With It
