1. Heat a large, deep frypan with 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon.

3. Stir in tomato salsa, 2 cups water and risoni. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until risoni is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.

Trim and rinse lettuce, separate leaves.

Grate and stir through cheese. Top with garnishes (see notes).

Serve garnish ingredients on the side if kids prefer.
