Lettuce Wrap Tacos
We have been using lettuce instead of tortillas recently for taco night or fajita night! In the grand scheme of the ingredients, the tortilla is more of a "filler food." I like to think of foods in terms of their "nutrient density" and the tortilla comes in pretty low on the nutrient density scale. It has a low amount of nutrients and a relatively high amount of calories. So what do we do?
Replace tortillas with lettuce as the vessel to get all the yummy to your mouth! Its way better for you, and you won’t miss out on any of the flavor!!
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
- 1 lb. Protein of your choice, I used pulled smoked pork that I made (you could also you shredded chicken, shredded beef, ground beef, shrimp, etc. You get the idea!)
- 2 onions, chopped into strips
- 1 pepper (green, yellow, red, orange, your choice), chopped into strips
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 head of iceberg lettuce (or any other lettuce you can separate and use as a vessel!)
