Mexican Lettuce Wraps

Mexican Lettuce Wraps at ASlobComesClean.com

This was one of those meals that was totally made-up and actually turned out great.

I was excited.

I do lots of made-up meals, but they don’t always turn out great. 

I decided, impromptu, to make my Mexican Casserole out of my pre-cooked, frozen ingredients.

I started pulling things out of the freezer and throwing them into the skillet when I realized I didn’t have any corn. Not that corn is totally necessary, but I was irritated. (This happens a lot.)

And while thinking of what to do and what veggie to include, it hit me that this stuff would make a great filling for a lettuce wrap. Or lettuce taco.

So here goes.

Ingredients:

Pre-cooked and frozen rice

Pre-cooked and frozen ground beef

One can (or the equivalent of precooked and frozen) chili beans

One package (or the equivalent) taco seasoning

Oh. You want amounts? Sorry. I have no idea.

Instructions:

In a large skillet, combine partially thawed (one minute at a time on 10% power in the microwave until crumbly) rice and ground beef with the beans. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water.

Stir until hot and bubbly.

Serve with lettuce leaves as the taco shells.

Tell your kids that if they don’t want to eat it that way, they can tear up their lettuce leaves for a salad and eat the filling with a fork. Add in a lecture about kids who don’t get enough to eat and would be happy to have a lettuce wrap.

    This sounds like an interesting meal. I think you could do this again with the corn, that way you and your kids get even more veggies. Extra veggies isn’t a bad thing 🙂

    I’d have never thought to add rice to this. Our taco filling recipe has always been ground beef, onion, and a couple cans of chili beans. I love this idea, and especially that it looks like you used Romaine lettuce. Hmm…might have to toss this idea out for supper tonight (along with the whole starving kids lecture). 🙂

    This is my first time posting on a blogger’s site! You cook like me, I don’t measure (unless I’m baking). Once in a great while I will come up with something new that my family likes. After positive feedback and second helping requests, I have to hurry and try to remember the ingredients and steps for that new creation. But I never write measurements. Tastes differ, I figure whoever wants to make it, they can modify it for their taste. You did great on this one! Simple and flexible. I like your site. You keep it REAL! Keep up the good work. I’m going to see how my 2 1/2 yr old grandson likes this. Stacy kelly
