Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps
These healthy Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps are low-carb, gluten-free, and packed with nutritious and delicious ingredients such as saucy browned ground beef, crispy lettuce, and freshly prepared veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 Mini romaine lettuce, I bought a pack of 3 mini romaine lettuce heads, 5 inches in length, however, I didn’t use all of them!
- 1 pound lean ground beef, or combination of pork and beef mince
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, plain
- ½ of medium yellow onion, finely diced
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika, regular, but smoked could also work here
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce, low sodium
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for cooking, I use grapeseed oil
Toppings:
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- ½ cup Red cabbage, shredded
- Scallions, sliced thin
Instructions
- In a medium pan, over medium heat, add vegetable oil, and once warm cook onion until translucent and soft.
- Add ground beef, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain if not using lean beef.
- Followed by spices, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Cook for a few minutes stirring and remove from heat.
- Prepare your station and start assembling the wraps. Divide the beef filling between 8 lettuce leaves, and top with red cabbage and carrot. These wraps also taste delicious with a drizzle of hot sauce!
- Enjoy warm right away!
- The filling is enough for 8 mini romaine lettuce wraps, without overloading them.
