Recipe View 1 mins To assemble the lettuce leaf tacos, fill each romaine lettuce leaf with approximately 2 tablespoons of the seasoned ground beef. Top with 1-2 teaspoons of the sautéed green pepper and onion mixture, a spoonful of salted tomatoes, and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
You can easily customize these tacos with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, black olives, or pickled jalapeños.
For a spicier kick, use hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef.
Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for ground beef for a leaner option.
Make sure the lettuce leaves are completely dry before filling them to prevent the tacos from becoming soggy.
