Taco night just got more fun with these creative lettuce tacos! Using lettuce leaves instead of tortilla shells means a healthier alternative for this family favourite. In our lettuce taco recipe we've combined tomatoes, avocado, sweet corn with beans for a hearty, meat-free salad and our dressing pops with the delicious flavour or coriander. If coriander isn't your thing, you can replace it with other herbs such as parsley, tarragon or dill. 

When you're choosing a lettuce for your tacos, look for a lettuce that is crispy and forms a cup - a Cos lettuce is perfect. Lettuce tacos are about creativity, so feel free to add more vegetables to your salad, or swap out one vegetables for another of your favourites.
