Here’s a delicious and healthy meal option that combines the rich flavors of seasoned beef with the creamy texture of avocado, all wrapped in crisp, refreshing lettuce leaves. Perfect for those seeking a low-carb, gluten-free meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
- Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado and lime juice. Gently mix to coat the avocado and prevent browning. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each leaf.
- Top with the avocado mixture and any additional toppings you desire, such as cherry tomatoes or shredded cheese.
- Serve:
- Fold the lettuce leaves over the filling to form wraps. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side, if desired.
