I have in the past resisted using lettuce as a wrap or taco shell. Somehow it just didn’t seem like it would be satisfying. I have made some tasty dehydrated wraps and shell however sometime I want something NOW! Recently I tried using romaine leaves as taco shells and I loved it! Everyone raved about them. They were beautiful and delicious. These will be a regular in my menu rotation. Here is the recipe:
Tacos
- 2-3 romaine leaves per person
- 2-3 roma tomatoes chopped
- Taco “Meat”
- Guacamole
- Mango Salsa
- Cashew sour cream (optional)
Taco “Meat”
- 1 1/2 cups pecans soaked for 2-4 hours then drained
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes soaked for 1 hour then drained
- 1/2 white onion rough chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Place ingredients in food processor and process until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Guacamole
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
Place ingredients in food processor and process until mixed but still chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Mango Salsa
- 1 large mango peeled and cut into cubes
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper diced
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/4 bunch cilantro chopped
- juice of 1/2 lime
Mix ingredients together in a bowl
Assembly
Place romaine leaves on platter. On each leaf layer taco meat, guacamole and salsa. Top with chopped tomatoes. You can also top with a raw cashew sour cream.
Enjoy!
