Foodie Friday: Taco Style Lettuce Wrap


Grain Free Taco AKA Taco Style Lettuce Wrap

*This is a repost from my blog 365 Days of Clean Eating

Ingredients:

  • Refried Beans (I make refried beans from dry beans)
  • Cooked Ground Beef (I cook in bulk and freeze to make this a quick fix)
  • Tomato
  • Cheese of choice
  • Green Leaf Lettuce leaves, whole (or you can just make this as a salad)
  • Sour Cream (just a little bit)
  • Spices to taste (I use these Mrs. Dash flavors)

I slice tomatoes instead of dicing so its less messy... unless I'm making this salad style

I mix a little bit of refried beans into the taco meat to extend it (because, hey, meat is ExPenSive!) and also to make it stick together a little bit more for less mess!

Add the tomato and get ready to fold and eat!

Viola!  Grain Free Taco!

Verdict:  Um, yeah.  I've had one of these every morning this week.  I LOVE it.  Having the seasoned ground beef and beans already put together in the fridge or freezer has been perfect for a quick fix meal!

OAMC:  Add some extra ground beef to your Once a Month Cooking plan and leave seasoned ground beef and refried beans to your list to make this a quick and healthy fix for your family!

What are your favorite quick fix meals?  How many grain free meals do you suppose you make in the course of a week?
