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

  4. 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.

Recipe Yield

12 lettuce-wrapped tacos

Recipe Note

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!
