Made these tacos last night, they are so easy to make although they are not the ordinary tacos as I use lettuce instead of tortillas and they were served with a light peanut sauce instead of salsa or guacamole. They are low in calories and super tasty, even my daughter likes them and that says a lot lol

INSTRUCTIONS
Make the peanut sauce; in a small saucepan
combine water, peanut butter 1/2 tablespoon sriracha, honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, and 1 clove crushed garlic and simmer over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until sauce becomes smooth and thickens, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over high medium until hot.
When hot, spray with oil and sauté the pork until cooked through and browned, breaking it up as it cooks; add the sriracha, remaining garlic and ginger and saute 1 minute. Add the tablespoon of soy sauce, cook 1 minute.
Add the shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup of the scallions and sauté until tender crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
Divide the pork equally between 8 lettuce leaves, top each with shredded cabbage, remaining scallions, drizzle with peanut sauce, chopped peanuts and cilantro, for garnish and serve with lime wedges.
