Beef Fajita Lettuce Wrap

May 13, 2014 By denise Leave a Comment

Last week I went to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch and had pretty much one of the best lunches I have had in a while. So much so that I knew I had to recreate the fajitas I had there.

What made these stand out was there were no tortillas. Say what? The fajitas were served with Romaine lettuce leaves.

Now I’ve had beef tacos (as in crispy tacos) in a lettuce leaf before and I loved that as well. But somehow this just worked even better. I did not miss the tortillas at all. Well, ok maybe a little but only slightly.

The flavors really meld together well and all you need is the beef (or chicken) fajitas, some sautéed bell peppers and onions and you have a perfect lighter version of fajitas.

What made these even better for me was that I bought the meat, bell peppers and onions all ready cut up and packaged ready to grill. Only I sautéed mine instead. It was the perfect size for two meals!
