I don't know about you, but I always have ground beef in the freezer. Well I have been trying to eat healthier and I was wondering what in the world I could make with ground beef. So I googled it, I food networked it, I kraftfoods.comed it... I couldn't really find anything. So I am sitting at work and it hit me... LETTUCE WRAPS! And boy were they good.
1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
1/4 cup of grape jelly (not really healthy, I know... but good)
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 Honey BBQ Sauce
Salt and Pepper
Brown your meat add the rest of the ingredients and feel free to experiment.. that's what I do.
1 head of crisp romaine lettuce (or what ever lettuce you would like to use)
7 baby carrots - I cut them into thin strips (or just buy shredded carrots)
1 can of water chestnuts (compliments of my mom... I didn't have any :) )
15 roasted almonds with no salt added. ( cut them up )
1/2 of a large red bell pepper or one small, cut the same size as the other veggies.
Mix all that into a bowl except for the lettuce leaves. Pile the meat mixture and veggies into the lettuce and WALLAH! My man put ranch on his and loved them... I ate them plain and loved them. Whatever you like, get creative.
