Cut the Carbs, Eat Lettuce Wraps

I was pleasantly surprised how these turned out. They were fairly easy to make and very yummy!

Lettuce leaves (I used Romain)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 T. soy sauce
1/4 c. hoisin sauce (I used a bit more)
2 t. minced ginger
1 T. rice wine vinegar
1 8-oz. can chopped water chestnuts
1 bunch chopped green onions
2 t. olive oil
Chopped peanuts

1. Rinse lettuce and let dry.
2. In a medium skillet over high heat, brown ground beef in 1 T. oil, stirring often. Drain and set aside to cool. Cook onion in same pan; add garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger and vinegar to onions; stir well. Stir in water chestnuts, green onions and oil; continue cooking until the onions just begin to wilt (about 2 min.)
3. Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter and pile meat mixture in the center. To serve, spoon portion into lettuce leaf, top with chopped peanuts and wrap around like a burrito. Enjoy!
Serve with rice on side if desired.
