Low Carb Mexican Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Low Carb Mexican Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (you could use turkey if you wanted)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions chopped
10 large iceberg lettuce leaves, whole, washed and dried (you could use romaine, or Bibb lettuce)
1/2 cup cheddar or monterey jack cheese, shredded (I used a mixture of both)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 large tomato, chopped
1/2 large avocado, diced


Directions:

1. In a large pan over medium heat add the ground beef. Cook until lightly browned. Drain if there's excess grease.
2. Add the white part of the green onions to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes more.
3. To assemble the wraps, top a lettuce leaf with taco meat, shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, and the green tops of the green onions.
