We're big on "Taco Tuesdays" around here and this week it's tacos with lettuce as shells instead of corn chips or soft shells. (Yes, I know it's Monday, but we have company coming tomorrow so opted for the tacos tonight.) Eating them this way I didn't feel quite so guilty indulging in a few extra chips and salsa :) Of course you can take this concept and fill it with your own favorite taco filling; the one I used is listed below.
Naked Tacos
Brown/Simmer in a large pan:
-1 lb. ground beef (we prefer the organic, grass-fed variety at our house)
-onion, chopped
-2 Tbs. chili powder
-1 tsp. cumin
Once meat is brown, add:
-1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
-1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained (I picked up the Mexican variety to add a little extra flavor)
Let the mixture simmer 4-5 minutes. Serve in lettuce shells, topped with cheese, salsa, and whatever else you like!
**LEFTOVERS make a great taco salad for lunch the next day!
