Recipe Summary Lettuce Leaf Tacos

For those on a low-carb kick that love Mexican but dread all the beans and bread, try this alternative for taco night. It uses lettuce leaves instead of taco shells to make a dish that's halfway between a lettuce wrap and a taco. Low on carbs and still delicious!

Ingredients | Banana Leaf Thai Restaurant Camp Hill

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow onion, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chicken stock (Optional)

1 pound ground beef

3 tablespoons taco seasoning

2 large roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped

½ teaspoon salt

1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

12 large romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Cook and stir green bell pepper and yellow onion in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil and chicken broth until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Cut up ground beef into small pieces; place into a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef with taco seasoning until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Sprinkle roma tomatoes with salt in a bowl. Place Cheddar cheese into a separate bowl.

Fill each lettuce leaf with about 2 tablespoons beef filling; top with 1 to 2 teaspoons green pepper mixture, roma tomato, about about 1 1/2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese.

Measurements are approximate and can be adjusted to your tastes. All ingredients can be customized to your preferred taco toppings. This could also work especially well with iceberg lettuce.
