Start by dicing the avocados into small cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and halve the red onion; finely chop half of it. Add to the bowl with avocados.
Slice the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocado mixture to prevent browning and add flavor.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add to the mixture.
Finely chop the jalapeño, removing seeds if less heat is desired, and add to the bowl.
Drizzle olive oil over the combined ingredients, then sprinkle with cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything gently to coat evenly.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These leaves will serve as the taco 'shells'.
Spoon the avocado mixture generously into the center of each lettuce leaf, folding them slightly to form tacos.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your Whole30 avocado tacos with a side of lime wedges for an added burst of citrus, if desired.
