Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 head lettuce leaves separated
1 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped onions

Sauce and Seasonings

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions

Preparation

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to break up any large clumps.
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Assembly

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a serving platter.
Spoon the beef mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Fold the leaves around the filling to create wraps.
Serve the lettuce wraps immediately, allowing guests to add additional toppings or sauces as desired.

Storage

Store any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
