This recipe was in the local Sunday paper. It sounded good and is. It is also very easy and quick to prepare. I didn't mix in the vegetables as I was selling it to DS as "Asian tacos." LOL. I did have some tortillas on hand for DS to use also. I did not use mint. Substitute iceberg or romaine lettuce for Boston lettuce, as desired. This recipe can also be found in "The Healthy Beef Cookbook."

Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito, and dip in dipping sauce (optional).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef with a fat content of 85% or less. This will ensure that your lettuce wraps are not greasy.
  • Cook the beef thoroughly: Make sure that the beef is cooked all the way through before assembling the lettuce wraps. This will prevent the spread of bacteria.
  • Use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves: Choose large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without wilting.
  • Don't overfill the lettuce wraps: Be careful not to overload the lettuce wraps with filling, or they will be difficult to eat.
  • Serve the lettuce wraps immediately: Lettuce wraps are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are assembled.
