Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are something I like to make when I want an easy meal, a delicious meal, a nutritious meal, and something light. Life gets in the way, and you get busy, or you have a long day at work and don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. That’s where these lettuce wraps come in! They are fast to make and taste great – and you only need about 15 minutes to prepare them. The meat is a lovely combination of sweet and savory, the lettuce adds a nice crunch to each bite and the rice balances everything out. From what I understand, Korean beef is typically a thin sliced steak, but I’m opting for ground beef (and ground chicken). It’s cheaper and almost everyone knows how to prepare it so anyone can whip up this meal 😊 I do have 2 variations of the same recipe, one with beef and one with … Continue reading
Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite go-to recipes for a hot summer day. They are light and packed with fresh flavors, leaving you satisfied without being overly full. I want to share my recipe for Asian Chicken Meatball Lettuce Wraps with Mango & Coleslaw with you today. The nice thing about this recipe is it’s really 2 recipes in one. You can eat the Asian Chicken Meatballs as is or turn them into delicious lettuce wraps. My preference is to create lettuce wraps but the meatballs pair well with rice or steamed vegetables if you are looking for something more comforting during cooler months of the year. The Asian Chicken Meatballs are tender and saucy, the coleslaw is packed with vegetables and offers a nice crunch in each bite, the mango adds a bit of sweetness, and the lettuce acts as a vessel to hold it all together. I … Continue reading

Vegan Beyond Meat Thai Lettuce Wraps
Vegan Beyond Meat Thai Lettuce Wraps are a great recipe when you are looking for something healthy or are trying to “eat clean”. They are simple to make, scrumptious, and packed with flavor. I like how customizable they are because you can add any toppings of your choosing when creating your lettuce wraps. If you are unfamiliar with lettuce wraps, think of them as a taco but with a lettuce leaf instead of a tortilla or taco shell. The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing the Beyond Meat. I personally like to use Beyond Meat in a lot of recipes and think it fits well with the flavors in this recipe. It also makes this recipe vegan if you follow a vegan lifestyle. If you don’t, feel free to substitute the Beyond Meat with ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground beef. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Beyond Meat, onion, and garlic. Cook for about … Continue reading

Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce
Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce are super easy to make, healthy, and refreshing. They are packed with zesty chicken, cool cucumbers, crisp tomato and onion, and tangy tzatziki sauce. It’s a burst of Mediterranean flavor! For us, these are simple weeknight meal. However, they would make great lunches because you can meal prep ahead of time and they are pretty light vs. filling. I recommend using bib lettuce, butter lettuce, or romaine hearts. They bib and butter lettuce create these “cups” for the ingredients to sit in and the romaine lettuce wraps the ingredients together well without ripping. If a lettuce wrap isn’t your thing, swap out the lettuce for a tortilla. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the Tzatziki Sauce. Add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. I’ve found that … Continue reading

Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a delicious, low carb dinner option, and are better than takeout! That’s right…. I said it. Sometimes homemade meals are better than takeout. These lettuce wraps are restaurant style and come together in about 20 minutes. They are filled with tender chicken, cashews, ginger, garlic, and plenty of heat! Each lettuce wrap is full of flavor and make quite the healthy meal option. The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Then, season with salt and pepper and set aside. An alternate option would be to substitute ground chicken or ground turkey if you prefer. You obviously don’t need to slice either of those but should still season with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined and set aside. The flavors … Continue reading
