Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb 93% lean ground beef
1 c yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
2 c fresh mushrooms, diced
2 c fresh bok choy, sliced on the diagonal
3 medium carrots, diced
1 can(s) bean sprouts
1 can(s) sliced water chestnuts
2 Tbsp fresh ginger root, minced well
4 clove garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
3-4 Tbsp hoisen sauce
1/2 tsp chinese 5-spice
6 low fat & carb tortillas
6 large iceberg lettuce leaves

Steps:

1. Lightly spray, or coat a large skillet, or wok with the olive oil. Brown the meat with the onions until meat is browned & onions are limp.
2. Add the ginger root, garlic, carrots and mushrooms and cook til mushrooms are soft. Add the red pepper slices, bean sprouts, water chestnuts & bok choy. Stir fry until veggies are crisp tender.
3. Mix the soy sauce, hoisen sauce and 5-spice powder. Add to skillet, and mix well with all the ingredients. If your family prefers a more spicy flavor add crushed red pepper flakes to your taste.
4. Serve in lettuce wraps, or in low fat tortillas for a low fat, healthy Asian dinner.
5. If you have family members who are not watching their diet, or carbs, you can also serve Jasmine rice with the beef either on the side, or in the wraps.
