Lettuce Wraps
Ever get sick of cooking the same thing every week?
Anytime we have ground beef defrosted it's either tacos, spaghetti, or stuffed peppers.
I wanted something fast, but different
Most people would consider this as an "appetizer" or a "side" but
we only have to feed two so it's good enough for us.
Ingredients
1lb lean ground beef
head of lettuce
1 cup white rice
ginger
onion salt
garlic salt
carrots
peas *optional*
hoisin sauce
Directions:
Start by browning your ground beef.
In a separate pan, make a cup of white rice
Cut up your carrots into tiny little pieces, and mix them with the peas (if you have them)
Once your beef is cooked, drain it and mix in the cooked rice and veggies
Now...for your main ingredient, add in your hoisen sauce.
I did about 1/4 cup , it's very strong. Add more if needed
(This can be found on the oriental isle at your local grocery store.)
It looks like this...
Once it's all mixed up it should like this
(we didn't have peas so I only used carrots)
Now, because I season everything when I cook, I recommend using ginger, onion salt, and a little garlic salt. Just sprinkle it on top and mix it up.
Now grab your head of lettuce, pull off some bigger pieces, rinse and dry them.
Now add the ground beef mixture to the lettuce, wrap it up and enjoy!
*For extra flavor, add soy sauce*
Also, to substitute fresh veggies and rice you can use something like this instead
Just throw it in the microwave and add it to the beef
Just throw it in the microwave and add it to the beef
