Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 Lettuce leaves (large, for shells)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, add water, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the water has mostly evaporated, and the flavors have melded.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and drying them thoroughly. These will serve as your low-carb taco shells.
Once the beef is ready, assemble the tacos by placing a lettuce leaf on a plate, followed by a portion of the taco beef.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Repeat the assembly process for all the tacos.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Crunchy Beef Tacos.
