I’m always looking for ways to decrease our carbs when planning the week’s menu. We love tacos, but the carb count on a flour or corn tortilla adds up quickly. But, we’ve discovered that with good flavored meat and toppings, a lettuce taco is just as filling and delicious – with loads less carbs that it’s starchy cousins. Now, we’re not about to say that we don’t indulge in a tortilla fest from time to time, but this lighter, healthier version satisfies the cravings from time to time without any of the guilt.
