    Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps

    Today people are looking for more healthy ways to enjoy meals. With people searching for keto friendly and gluten free options a lot more often, I had to share these Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps with you all.

    I first had lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang's a long time ago. I loved them! The crisp lettuce with the warm beef filling was super tasty. I just had to try them at home!

    How to make Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps:

    Ingredients:

    • Ground Beef
    • Sesame Oil (for cooking)
    • Yellow Onion (finely diced)
    • Tomato Sauce
    • Ground Cumin
    • Paprika
    • Garlic Powder
    • Cayenne Powder
    • Soy Sauce - I used low sodium soy sauce.
    • Mini Romaine Lettuce Heads

    Toppings:

    • Carrot (grated)
    • Green Onion (sliced)
    • Peanuts (salted or regular will work)
    • Chili Powder

    Directions:

    Step One - Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once warmed place onions in the skillet to cook until translucent and soft.

    Step Two - Next add in your ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook and crumble the beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain the fat as needed.

    Why this recipe is so great!

    These Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps are super easy to make! You can have them made in about 15 minutes!

    These are super tasty and filled with great seasoning and spices. Full of flavor and really healthy for you! You can serve this to your keto friendly friends!

    Spice it up with some Hot Sauce, Siracha, or cool it down with some Yum Yum Sauce drizzled on top!

    Make this meal kid friendly!

    I know, I know, lettuce wraps are really not a kid friendly meal no matter how fun it is to eat them with your hands. So what I do is make a side of rice, and serve my kids this meal on top of rice in a new Asian Ground Beef Bowl topped with some cool and creamy Yum Yum Sauce.
