    My PCOS Kitchen - Paleo Lettuce Tacos - Delicious gluten-free and low carb tacos flavoured with homemade taco seasoning!

    I recently made a little batch of homemade taco spice the other day so I thought I'd make some tacos with it! I wanted something relatively low-carb so I decided to use some butter lettuce instead of my paleo tortilla wraps. If you ever make lettuce tacos, I suggest using butter lettuce because it folds nicely and looks really pretty!  I find any other type of lettuce tends to break easily when you try to roll it out.

    I first made the tacos using my taco seasoning and added some fresh veggies, but I thought it'd be nice to have a little sauce that can go over them.  When eating paleo, you can't eat dairy, so I thought I'd make a little side of coconut lime sauce that you can just drizzle over the tacos, which kind of reminds me of either an aioli or sour cream. Instead of just mixing the coconut cream by hand, I used my food processor to shred the cilantro and then added the coconut milk and organic lime juice!

    Because I used lettuce instead of wraps, they turned out pretty low carb! This recipes makes about 4 big tacos that are quite filling! 1 tacos has 387 calories and 8g net carbs.  You can chose to eat the tacos with or without the coconut lime sauce, it's up to you!

      I started making tacos and fajitas with lettuce too. Takes a bit to get used to, but still pretty filling.
