Asian "Tacos," Acid-Free


These lettuce cups need no introduction - they are healthy, delicious, and perfect for the acid reflux diet. If you don’t have acid reflux, you can add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Ingredients: (Makes eight “tacos”)
• Lettuce for cups
• Half pound ground beef
• Eight mushrooms, sliced
• One tablespoon chopped cilantro
• One clove garlic, minced
• One carrot, sliced very thin
• One tablespoon canola oil

For sauce:
• Quarter cup water
• Two tablespoons soy sauce
• Two teaspoons fish sauce
• One teaspoon sesame oil
• One clove garlic, minced

In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Drain and wipe skillet (as you would to make tacos).
Return skillet to heat.
Heat one tablespoon canola oil.
Add garlic and half of the cilantro, heat until garlic is sweating but not brown.
Add mushrooms and sauté until they start to wilt.
Pour sauce into skillet.
Return beef to skillet.
Bring sauce to a boil, then put burner on low to simmer beef and mushrooms in sauce for a few minutes.
Sprinkle remaining cilantro over mixture.
Serve mixture in lettuce cups with slivered carrots on top for crunch.
