Taco Lettuce Wraps
These easy taco lettuce wraps are low carb, packed with protein, and include delicious healthy ingredients! They can be made even tastier by using sour cream and cheese!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 21.2 oz lean ground beef we use Butcher Box meat
- ½ green bell pepper diced small
- 2 TB taco seasoning or make your own - see my recipe in the Notes
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 tomato diced
- ½ red onion diced small
- 1 red chili diced small
- Small handful of cilantro leaves finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 1 TB olive oil
- 12 leaves of gem cos or Romaine lettuce
- Sour cream optional, to serve
- Grated cheddar cheese optional, to serve
Instructions
- Have all your ingredients prepped and ready: the ground beef, the diced green pepper, and the taco seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the avocado, tomato, red onion, chili, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. This will be your delicious relish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan or wok. Cook the diced green pepper over moderate heat until softened. Once softened, tip in the taco seasoning.
- Stir well. The pan will start to look very dry as the spice mix absorbs all the moisture.
- At this time, tip in ground beef and increase the heat to high. Cook, stirring continuously until the mince has browned evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Prepare several leaves of Romaine lettuce. Spoon the mince mixture into the little lettuce ‘boats.’ Spoon over the relish and enjoy with any of the other optional extras, such as soured cream or grated cheese.
