Taco Lettuce Cups
Yields 15-20
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup diced tomato
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 12 Revolution Farms Robust Romaine lettuce leaves, or your favorite Romaine lettuce
- ¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring, until it develops a crust. Break up the ground beef and stir in taco seasoning. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until meat is fully browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine tomato, onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to combine and add salt and pepper to taste.
Place a scoop of taco meat in the middle of each lettuce leaf, then top with tomato and onion mixture and shredded cheese.
