Lettuce Eat Better Tacos

Had to hit the store yesterday at lunch to get the stuff I needed for my lettuce wrap taco's. Only thing about eating fresh all time is that you have to go to the store more often cause fresh don't last forever! I actually try to buy more "not quite ripe" things now to buy me another day or two.

While I was there this kid tried to jack my lettuce...

...he also poked a hole in it for me...awesome! :/








I like to make my own salsa and I don't measure anything so it's pretty much to taste, but the Kiddo's eat it up; today I used about 5 Roma tomatoes, 2 large garlic cloves chopped, 2 chopped green onions, about 1 TBS of left over red onion I had from another dish, chopped cilantro to taste, juice of two limes and a dash of salt. Sometimes I add a couple TBS of jarred salsa to thicken it up but tonight was straight up.


I think I out did myself on presentation on this one cause
seriously- this is restaurant quality!

Alyssa thought they tasted better than "regular" tacos and I do have to say I didn't really miss the tortilla, and I certainly don't miss what tortillas were doing to my backside...just sayin!


I did "cheat" and have a slice of Birthday Cake, but I keep in mind this is a lifestyle and it's about making better choices not PERFECTION. Perfection is an illusion that will eat you alive (in a BAD way)- don't let it. I did however pass up the wine for now, so THAT my friends is a WIN in my book!

 

I am thinking iceberg lettuce may be an under-used vegi, what else can we do with it?
