Tacos de Lechuga are a fresh and low-carb twist on your favorite taco night; indulge without the guilt tonight!

1

Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.

2

Next, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned and fully cooked.

3

Stir in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and mix well. If needed, add a couple of tablespoons of water to help incorporate the seasoning. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.

4

While the beef is cooking, wash the lettuce head and carefully separate the leaves, creating bowls for your tacos. Set them aside.

5

Dice the tomatoes and chop the cilantro for garnish. Keep them handy for assembly.

6

Once the beef is ready, remove the skillet from heat. Fill each lettuce leaf with a scoop of the beef mixture, a couple of dices of tomato, sprinkle some cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

7

Top each taco with fresh cilantro for that extra burst of flavor.

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Taco de Lechuga!
