Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head of any leaf lettuce, romaine, iceberge, boston bibb
1 carrot
1 lime, wedged
sliced red onion
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (Lee Kum Kee)
garlic, chopped
red onion, chopped
1 dash red pepper flakes (optional)
1 dash rice wine vinegar (optional)
soy sauce
cooked rice

Steps:

  • Start making rice ( I like Basmati Jasmine Rice) remember, do not open the lid while cooking the rice, it makes it mushy --.
  • Heat a large pot, or wok, on high, add ground beef, garlic, chopped onion, red pepper, soy sauce. Make sure to move the meat alot so it all breaks up and cooks evenly.
  • Slice carrots thin with a vegetable peeler, cut lime into wedges, and slice onions thin.
  • Meat should be done shortly, do not drain the meat. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  • Place all of the fresh ingredients on a plate, lettuce leafs, carrots, limes, and onions.
  • Place rice, and meat in separate bowls.
  • Serve by placing rice in lettuce add meat, and then the fresh veggies that you would like, wrap it up, and eat it.
  • This really only takes about 20-30 minutes. Really, really good.
