Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 12 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 1 ripe, diced avocado
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Drain excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
Step 4
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 5
While the beef is cooking, prepare the taco toppings: dice the tomato and avocado, shred the cheese, and chop the cilantro.
Step 6
Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will serve as your taco shells.
Step 7
Once the beef is ready, season it with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
To assemble the tacos, lay a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the cooked beef mixture.
Step 9
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomato, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos.
Step 11
Repeat the process for the remaining lettuce wraps until all ingredients are used.
Step 12
Enjoy your low-carb mini tacos!
