This recipe is another one that I created so that I could still enjoy a dish that I loved, even on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. These tacos have all the flavors found in average tacos as well as all the textures because the lettuce provides that crunchy exterior.
Ingredients: romaine lettuce tomato cheddar cheese ground beef or turkey onion cumin paprika chili powder salt pepper scallions yogurt Steps: 1. Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them off. Make sure you choose leaves that are sturdy and will hold up throughout the meal. 2. Shred the cheddar. 3. Chop the tomatoes and dice the onion. 4. Set aside the cheese and tomato. These will be used as toppings later. 5. Cook the ground meat and onion. 6. Drain the fat from the pan. 7. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and cumin to taste. 8. Add a little bit of water so that the mixture gets a saucey consistency. 9. Fill the lettuce leaves with the desired amount of meat. 10. Top with the cheese so that it can begin to melt. Then add the tomatoes. 11. Place a dollop of SCD-legal homemade yogurt on top in the place of sour cream. 12. Slice the scallions and top with these for some added color and flavor. Not only do they add a pleasant mild onion flavor, but they are also very aesthetically pleasing. Serve and enjoy immediately! I do not provide the amounts here because that will vary depending on how many people you are preparing the meal for and how hungry they are. I typically eat three tacos for one meal. Variation: Top with fresh salsa, olives, or whatever taco toppings you prefer. Avocado always heightens any dish, so you couldn't go wrong by adding a few slices! I prefer avocado, but for some reason I forgot to add it when I made these a couple of nights ago, which is why they are not pictured.
