Taco Seasoned Beef Lettuce Wraps, where Asian and Tex-Mex cuisines collide to form a lovely explosion of immense flavors and textures.Taco Seasoned Beef Lettuce Wraps is a super quick and easy recipe that is a frequent dish on our dinner table. Inspired by one of my previous recipes, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, I've taken the bold flavors of the basic minced beef taco and replaced the tortillas with lettuce cups for a low carb meal. This recipe packs in so much flavor in a pretty and healthy arrangement that it would certainly make an excellent appetizer for a party or as a main dish for when you have guests over.

Place all taco seasoning ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. 2. In a pot (I used a cast iron pot), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and chopped garlic. Stir fry until it is fragrant and the onions are translucent. 3. Add in ground beef and stir fry, breaking up the meat. 4. Once meat is almost cooked, add taco seasoning and continue stir frying until meat is cooked through. 5. Serve with butter lettuce and garnish with cilantro. Serves 4 (entree size)

Looks tasty! I am SO having my husband make this within the next few days! He told me yesterday that he was thinking tacos for one day this week, & I told him I was unsure because of the carbs that come along with the taco shells. Problem solved, thanks to you!

Thank you! I agree, making your own seasoning allows you to control the flavors. I make it less spicy for my kids. Once, I forgot to add salt and it didn't taste bland at all. It was still very fragrant.
