DESI'S SOUTHWESTERN LETTUCE
WRAPS
 
Makes a great appetizer!

1 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
garlic powder, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

Brown ground beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder and drain grease. Mix in taco seasoning and water. Heat according to directions on taco seasoning packet.

While meat is cooking, core lettuce. Peel away top layer revealing crisper leaves. Separate lettuce, being careful to not tear leaves. The leaves should be large and in tact as much as possible. Drain black beans and corn and add to meat. Heat until warm.

To serve, add a few spoonfuls to a leaf of lettuce and wrap like a burrito.
