Lettuce Wraps are one of my favorite meals and my family's favorite dish (the kids love it, which is a huge bonus). I love it because as a working mom, this recipe whips up in about 10 minutes and is so healthy. You can make this faster than getting take out or ordering on Uber eats. If you have picky eaters at home, it's a great way to sneak extra veggies in.
I've included my super fast weeknight Keto friendly ground beef dinner version, but it's healthy and keto friendly (no added sugar). Can you believe it? If you order this out or get it at a restaurant, a lot of times it's loaded with sodium and sugar.
One of the best things about lettuce wraps is their versatility. They can be filled with a wide array of ingredients, accommodating various dietary preferences. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, or vegan, there are countless possibilities to create flavorful combinations. From lean proteins like grilled chicken or tofu to crunchy vegetables, herbs, and zesty sauces, the options are endless.
My rule to cooking, is don't stress about it. Most of the time, I use whatever is in my fridge. Last week, I added zucchini to my meat mixture because I had one in the fridge and didn't want it to go bad.
