Loaded Lettuce Boat Tacos

Lettuce boat tacos are a favourite of mine. They make such a delicious lunch or evening meal and are extremely versatile. Here is a favourite combination I like to put together for maximum flavour and minimal effort. I've used lean beef mince, but this can easily be substituted for a meat-free alternative such as Quorn or tofu or another protein such as chicken pieces or even king prawns.
