  • Tacos !

    I've been craving tacos for weeks now - so this is what I cam up with.

    I used ground turkey, but you could use ground beef, vension or buffalo.
    Brown the meat and season with a little salt and pepper, garlic and chili powder.
    Washed and dried romaine lettuce leaves - then layered into each leaf some of the taco meat, chopped onion, a little homemade guacamole, grated cheese and topped off with a few dollops of sour cream .... quick, simple and very satisfying. The romaine leaves are shaped perfectly for holding in a lot of goodies - almost like a taco shell.
    I didn't even miss the taco shells !

    Did you know you can make taco shells out of cheese!? I do, and then put a leaf of lettuce around the filled shell almost like a "double-decker" taco. Here's the thread for the shells if you're interested...

      Love love love "faux" tacos! I use those wide leaf lettuces for just about everything

      I've tried that cheese taco...it's okay, but salty to me. Must be the cheddar cheese. It's great for variety in this way of eating, that's for sure!

        I rarely use cheddar...usually I use those blended cheeses for pizza...mozzarella makes really good shells.
