Fiesta Lettuce Boats

I would call it a "wrap", except we decided it was much easier to eat it like a "boat" =)
Simple, healthful ingredients and it's on your table in about 30 minutes!  

Ingredients:  
1lb Ground Beef
1/2 Green Pepper, diced
1/2 Red Pepper, diced
1/4 C Diced Onions, or 1-2T dried diced onions
2 tsp Emeril's Essence BAM! seasoning (This stuff's good)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1-2 Romain Hearts
1-2 C Shredded Cheese (We used colby jack)

Dice up your peppers and onions (or used dried like I did)
and toss them in with the ground beef.  Sprinkle on some BAM!
(It was really fun to say that) and cook until the beef is cooked through.
(Sorry...I forgot to snag a pic of the sizzling meat, but...) 
While the meat is browning, prepare your Romaine lettuce by 
slicing about 3-4 inches off of the bottom as shown above.  
Rinse the leafy greens in cold water and drain well.  
Fill your little lettuce boats with the seasoned meat, top with cheese
(and maybe a little sour cream, if you'd like) and enjoy!
