Mexican Beef Stir-Fry image

This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

I served this stir-fry over rice, but it would also be great served over noodles or tortillas.

I added some shredded cheese to the top of the stir-fry before serving. It was a great way to add some extra flavor and creaminess.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. The dish was still very flavorful and satisfying.
