Red onion1/2 medium, sliced thin
Cilantro1/4 cup, chopped

1

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter and set aside.

Thinly slice the red onion, chop cilantro, slice jalapeño if using, and cut lime into wedges; arrange in small bowls.

4

Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

5

Add ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Cook until browned and no pink remains, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

6

Stir in taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes until flavors blend. Taste and adjust seasoning.

7

Spoon warm beef mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with red onion, cilantro, salsa, and jalapeño as desired.
