Taco Seasoned Beef Lettuce Wraps

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.
