Thai Lettuce Wraps with Cilantro




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 pound Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 head cabbage or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
Lime wedges (optional)



Recipe



1. Sauté beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.

2. Add mint, cilantro and next 4 ingredients to beef and stir until heated.

3. Spoon mixture in center of cabbage or lettuce leaves, and roll up.

4. Serve with additional lime wedges, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Cooking Tip: Blanching the cabbage leaves makes for an easier roll up. If you're short on time, use a food processor to chop the onion, cilantro and mint.
