Spicy Mexican lettuce wraps~1/17/2011


You will need

Fresh Romaine lettuce washed and ribs trimmed
1lb flank steak, cut in half length wise and then slice thinly against the grain
one small onion sliced thinly
Pico di gallo ( I purchase my from a local Mexican restaurant)
Hot habenero, tomatillo salsa (purchased from the same restaurant)
2 limes (one for slices and one for juice)
Taco bell canned fat free re fried beans
shredded cheese of choice (preferably reduced fat or fat free)
taco bell fajita seasoning
ground cumin
salt
pepper

Ok this one is really simply

1. Coat deep nonstick pan with cooking spray heat on medium high.  Add steak and onions. Add the juice of one lime.  Season to your taste using salt, pepper, cumin, and fajita seasoning. cook until desired doneness.  If you like your meat really spicy go ahead and add a little bit of the salsa while cooking.
2.  Put beans in Microwave safe dish ( I like to add a little taco bell taco sauce to thin out beans) heat in microwave for two minutes.
3.  Now it is time to start building your tacos.  Place 3 lettuce leaves on your plate.  Add 2oz of meat mixture to each life.  Top with desired amounts of pico, salsa, and cheese.
4. plate with refried beans and a lime wedge
