Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps Recipe – Thai Lettuce Wraps Recipe Rates #1 Quick Meal

Have you ever made ground beef lettuce wraps?  Well, my Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps make a last minute dinner on those busy nights.  These scrumptious and simple Asian beef lettuce wraps pack so much flavor with simple ingredients.!  Do you ever prepare Thai beef recipes?  One night I was craving hoisin sauce and had extra ground meat so the Thai Lettuce Wraps recipe from my KITCHEN 101 cookbook immediately came to mind. I needed a quick dinner and everyone always loves ground beef lettuce wraps.  Never had lettuce wraps–well, think of it as a taco but using the lettuce as your shell. If you prefer chicken, here’s a wonderful recipe for Chicken Lettuce Wraps!

What is Hoisin Sauce? Serve My Thai Lettuce Wraps Recipe with Hoisin Sauce!

I love Hoisin sauce.  Hoisin sauce is used in Asian recipes and I love it with this Thai Lettuce Wraps recipe.  Though not similar in flavor, hoisin sauce is often thought of as Chinese barbecue sauce. It has a thick texture, dark color and variety of dipping and marinating uses. Hoisin ingredients can vary but the base contains soybean paste, salt, spices and sweeteners – lending savory sweet flavor to these wraps that just melts in my mouth. Plus, this Thai beef lettuce wrap recipe is made with a crunchy lettuce leaf – the perfect light spring to summer meal to leave you satisfied not stuffed! I think you’ll find my favorite Thai beef recipe healthier with lots of flavor and simple to prepare.
