Ingredients
Seasoned Beef
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 Cup Water
Pico de Gallo
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 bunch Cilantro
Guacamole
- 2 Hass Avocados
- 1/2 Lime

Lettuce Wraps

Method
Seasoned Beef
- Brown 1 lb ground beef and drain
- Sprinkle on 2 tbs of Taco Seasoning Mix
- Add in 1/2 3/4 cup of water and mix until seasoning is well blended
- Turn to a medium high heat and bring to a low boil for less than a minute
- Turn down to medium low and simmer until most of the water is gone (don't dry out the meat completely).
Pico de Gallo
- While the meat is simmering, dice the onion and tomato and then mix together
- Remove as many of the cilantro stems as possible and chop.
- Mix in with the onions and tomatoes and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (it keeps for a couple of days).
Guacamole
- Slice avocados lengthwise and scoop out the avocado into a shallow bowl
- Mash with a fork until nearly smooth (some like it to still have chunks of avocado).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and squeeze 1/2 a lime into the bowl
- Mix until well blended
Lettuce Prep
- Separate and wash the hearts of romaine lettuce leaves.
- Trim the ends with the thick stalk, just enough to clean them up.
Assembly
- Place a couple of tablespoons of seasoned beef into each lettuce leaf
- Top with a couple of teaspoons of guacamole
- Sprinkle on the pico de gallo
- Squeeze a bit of lime juice across the entire lettuce wrap
- Top with your favorite hot sauce (Mine is El Yucateco)
- Pinch closed and enjoy!
