Ingredients

  • 2 heads of Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 lb of lean ground beef or other meat/meat substitute of your choosing
  • 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1 Package of Taco Seasoning or equivalent in home seasonings
Suggested toppings
  • 1 large tomato cubed
  • ½ cup of sliced mild peppers
  • ½ - 1 cup of prepared salsa
  • ¼ cup chopped onions

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
