GROUND BEEF MEXI WRAPS
These are fast, cheap and easy. My family inhaled these. This is based on a recipe I saw prepared on Calling all Cooks years ago, with qute a few of my own changes. I use Habanero Lime Hot Salsa in this, but any level of heat that you desire is fine. I have used Emeril's Southwest seasoning, and also Tastefully Simple's Fiesta seasoning in these before, both turned out well. Seasonings measurements are really to taste, I had to give measurements for the computer, but feel free to adjust to your saltiness and spiciness preferences.

LETTUCE LEAF TACOS
For those on a low-carb kick that love Mexican but dread all the beans and bread, try this alternative for taco night. It uses lettuce leaves instead of taco shells to make a dish that's halfway between a lettuce wrap and a taco. Low on carbs and still delicious!
