In addition to craving Chinese food lately, tacos have also creeped their way up to the top of my must-eat list. Nothing sounds better right now than a straight up hot & crispy taco with tons of ice-cold toppings and infinite amounts of shredded cheddar cheese. RIGHT?! (No, I’m not pregnant!)
At the same time, I also have a craving for fitting into my bikini next month, and have been attempting to cut back on carbs starting this week. It’s…not going well.
Everything has carbs!
Well, everything I like, anyways. Cereal, fruit, cereal, Chobani, cereal, popcorn, cereal, the 12-packs of King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls Ben won’t stop buying on his way home from work, and did I mention cereal?
RIP Whole Hearts.
Still wanting to satisfy my latest craving, I met myself halfway and whipped up a hot and crispy taco for dinner tonight, but traded carb-laden taco shells, for low-carb endive leaves.

I loved that I could enjoy a bunch of topping combos, which I wouldn’t have been able to do if I only had 2 or, let’s be real, 3 regular sized tacos.
Crunching into them like regular tacos was awesome, but piling the ground beef and toppings onto a plate and using the endive leaves to backhoe them into your mouth also works great. I’m guessing. ;)
Enjoy
