Ingredients
- 2 romaine lettuce heads
- 1 lb ground beef or other meat/meat substitute of your choosing, lean
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 taco seasoning or equivalent in home seasonings, package
Suggested toppings
- 1 tomato large, cubed
- ½ cup mild peppers sliced
- ½ - 1 cup salsa prepared
- ¼ cup onion chopped
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, brown the ground beef (or alternative) on medium heat. When cooked through, drain, then add tomato paste and seasoning per package instructions. Keep hot while preparing lettuce.
- Slice lettuce lengthwise, keeping core end intact to hold the lettuce together (see pictures above). Wipe the grill grate with a paper towel coated in oil, then place lettuce on grill. After a few minutes, when browned, turn over to cook the other side. Remove from grill.
- Serve a half head (or a quarter for smaller children) on each plate, place cooked taco meat and toppings on table and let everyone chose what they’d like.
