Lettuce Wrapped Tacos

This is a super easy taco fix, perfect when you need to pig out and eat six tacos and not feel too guilty for cheating. Not much to tell on this one, not an original post (most people can figure this one out on their own).

Ingredients:
-1lb ground beef
-1 Head of Boston lettuce
-Shredded Cheese (I use tex mex)
-Sour Cream (optional)
-Salsa (optional)
-Seasonings for meat (to taste):
   -chili peppers
   -salt
   -pepper
   -cheyenne peppers
-Hot Sauce
-Toppings to taste

Procedure:
-Fry up the beef and then season to taste in the pan with seasonings and hot sauce.
-Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
-Grate cheese.
-Separate lettuce leaves on a plate.
-Add meat and your favourite toppings and sauces to the lettuce.

You can switch up the meat you use to, we have also made tacos with pulled pork (pictured below).

Spicy Jalapeño Butter Shrimp


We love to switch up our seafood mid-week. 'Spicy Jalapeño Butter Shrimp' is one of our favourite ways to prepare shrimp, it is SO quick and SO easy. Perfect to make when you get home from work in a hurry to eat. We have started throwing jalapeños into the pan when we make the shrimp, but they are optional.
We often use the shrimp as a side with other things like Flatout Mini Pizzas. 
Ingredients:
-1lb Bag of Shrimp
-1/4 cup of butter
-1/2 can of Jalapeños (optional)
-salt & pepper to taste
-1 tsp. chili flakes
-1-2 tsp. chili powder
-1 tbsp. coconut oil
*season to taste, if these seasonings are too much for you reduce them

Procedure
1. Thaw shrimp (if frozen).
2. Heat coconut oil in pan on stovetop at medium heat.
3. Add butter to the coconut oil.
4. Add thawed shrimp to the pan.
5. Add seasoning to the shrimp and butter.
6. Cook shrimp for 5-10 minutes (this may vary by stove/will be different if you are using precooked shrimp).
7. Add jalapeños (optional). Let sit for 2-5 minutes.
