Wrap it Up... with Romaine Lettuce

Over the last couple of years we have really phased bread and grains out of our diets. Sometimes that ment skipping our favorite foods. But recently we began a really fun and delicious way to eat foods that usually are surrounded in bread or a tortilla.

Romaine Lettuce Hearts!

After separating and washing the leaves here are some things that we have filled and wrapped inside our leaves...

Tacos
Turkey "sandwiches" (Nitrate free, preservative free organic sliced turkey, cheese, gucamole, tomato)
Chicken Salad
Not Tuna Salad
Apple Cashew Salad
Fajitas
Tuna Salad
Brushetta
7 Layer Taco Dip

The crunch of the Romaine Lettuce has added a great component to the dish. Romaine Hearts, even organic, are really easy to find and affordable.

The last time I made tacos, I made organic corn shells for Taydem (6) and Creighton (3) to eat while Alex and I were going to have the Romaine Hearts. All four of us ate the Romaine... the shells are still in the cupboard.
