Taco Lettuce Wraps

When I am in the mood for tacos, these Taco Lettuce Wraps really taste great!  Some people like to use the low carb tortillas, but even though they taste good, they tend to give me a stomach ache.  Therefore, I use romaine or iceberg lettuce as my tortilla.  I also love using lettuce wraps for my Buffalo Chicken Wrap and Chicken Salad.  There are so many options for lettuce wraps!  When I make the taco lettuce wraps, I will usually eat 2-4 of them, depending on how hungry I am.  It's easier to not over-stuff them because they will fall apart.  

Taco Lettuce Wraps

Romaine or Iceberg lettuce

Taco Meat (see below for recipe)

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Sour Cream

Avocado Slices or Guacamole

Salsa

Jalepenos (optional)

Directions:  Simply stuff your lettuce wrap with whatever taco toppings you like.  Fold or wrap as well as you can and dig in.  This does tend to be a messy dish, so be prepared with lots of napkins!

Taco Meat Recipe:

Cook the ground beef in a skillet and drain most of the fat out.  Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper, cumin, minced onion and chili powder.  I don't measure the seasonings out, but if I had to guess, I would say about 1/2 -1 tsp each, and then adjust as needed.

Big Greek Salad

I was in the mood for a big salad today, and this one really hit the spot!  I grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper and greek seasoning.  I thinly sliced one chicken breast to use for the salad.  

Here is how I made the salad:

Chopped iceberg lettuce and romaine lettuce

Sliced Greek Pepperochini

Sliced Black Olives

Shaved Parmesan Cheese

Thinly Sliced Red Onion

Sliced Cucumber

Ken's Simply Olive Oil & Vinegar Salad Dressing
