Lettuce wraps are everywhere on restaurant menus these days. At home, they make for a fun family-style meal where everyone rolls their own wraps.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Laura's 92% lean ground beef or 96% Lean ground round shopping list
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves shopping list
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro shopping list
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper shopping list
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice shopping list
- 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce shopping list
- 1 head cabbage or romaine lettuce, leaves separated shopping list
- lime wedges (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Sauté beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.
- Add mint, cilantro and next 4 ingredients to beef and stir until heated.
- Spoon mixture in center of cabbage or lettuce leaves, and roll up.
- Serve with additional lime wedges, if desired.
- If you decide to use cabbage leaves, blanching will make the leaves retain texture and color. To blanch, simply add cleaned leaves to boiling water. Let soak for less than 1 minute. Remove leaves and place directly in an ice water bath for 1 minute. Place on paper towels to allow for drainage and use when ready.
