Last night, I decided that I wanted to make Tacos. I Didn't have all the ingredients I needed, so I stopped at Harmon's. I grabbed some Grass Fed Ground Beef, Vine Ripe Tomato, Avocado, & Tortilla's. Now, here was my delimma... Harmon's does not have a healthy tortilla (Or I just couldn't find any) Some had whole wheat, but it was all refined. So I went with the usual.
After making the taco's, eating one and still wanting another, I was thinking to myself... How can I make this better? How can I make a yummy taco without this refined bread tortilla???
How about a Taco Lettuce Wrap? It was perfect!
So, here's the recipe!
What you will need:
1 Pound Ground Beef (I used 93/7 Organic, Grass Fed Beef).
1 Can of Black, Kidney and/or Pinto beans (My son wanted black tonight).
McCormick Taco Seasoning or your own Taco mix, if you have it. (A little FYI... After I started reading labels, I checked all my seasoning packets ( I had a few), to my surprise, they were "good," no bad "stuff" in them!)
1 Tomato
1 Avocado
Romaine Lettuce Leaves
1/2 Cup or Less of Shredded Cheese
Any other veggies you would like on top!
How to make it:
First get out your Romaine Lettuce Leaves. Keep them long, wash, pat dry on paper towel. set aside (that way they can dry).
Open can of beans, which ever you've chosen. Drain. Rinse in strainer (makes sure there are no more bubbles). Set aside.
Brown your hamburger meat (you can use any kind of meat you like) over med/high heat. Once the meat is brown add taco seasoning, bean and 3/4 cup water.
Continue to cook until it thickens up 5-7 min.
Cut up your Avocado and Tomato.
I like to make a guacamole spread with my avocado. It's really advanced. I scoop all the avocado into a bowl. Mash with a fork and add a little lemon pepper salt. Whala!
How to assemble:
Get a romaine lettuce leaf, spread on some guacamole. Add hamburger meat, little cheese and tomato.
Enjoy!
