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."

  • Make the filling ahead of time: The beef filling can be made up to 2 days in advance. This makes it a great option for meal prep.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include shredded carrots, bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, and fresh herbs.
  • Serve the wraps warm or cold: Beef lettuce wraps can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, wrap them tightly in foil and place them in a warm oven for 10-15 minutes.
