Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (sugar-free)
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 leaves large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 sliced jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in taco seasoning and pour in the beef broth. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings: Dice the avocado and cherry tomatoes, and slice the jalapeño.
Lay each lettuce leaf onto a serving plate. This will serve as the taco shell substitute.
Spoon the beef mixture into each lettuce leaf, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of avocado, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño slices.
Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.
