Lettuce Taco's

Taco's are always a hit at our house so today I decided to add a twist to what I think of as the "standard" taco (taco shell with the fixings inside) and use a lettuce leaf in it's place. Not to mention it may be slightly healthier to omit the shell.

Ingredients:

  1. Head of lettuce
  2. Ground meat (I used ground turkey)
  3. Taco seasoning packet
  4. Shredded Cheese (optional)
  5. Tomatoes, Onions or any other toppings that you prefer (optional).
  6. Salsa, Sour Cream or Guacamole (optional). 
Directions: 
  1. Brown the meat in a skillet on top of the stove.
  2. While the meat is "browning" wash and pull apart the lettuce.
  3. Shred the cheese.
  4. Once the meat has finished cooking; follow the directions on the seasoning packet and add it to the meat.
  5. Fill the lettuce shells with the meat and any desired toppings. 
There you have it; a simple alternative to the standard taco and they are simply delicious.
