Mix in the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, cumin, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and grated carrots into the guacamole mixture.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing them and patting dry with a paper towel or kitchen cloth.
