Ed's Biggest Loser Asian Lettuce Wraps (Made with Lean Ground Beef)

Submitted by: AUBSCOFFEEMAMA

Introduction

I saw this recipe made on The Biggest Losers. I didn't have any ground turkey on hand, so I used lean ground beef. This is double the origianl recipe. Makes great leftovers for lunch.

    Delish! Some of the kids ate them with tortillas, I used romaine hearts; overall pretty good. I understand the recipe to be 1/4 cup filling per serving. - 5/3/11

    These were wonderful! I made them exactly to the recipe, but I did add a couple more veggies--zucchini and shredded carrots as a topper. We served them in butter lettuce leaves, and I offered rice on the side as well. I will be making this over and over! New favorite!! - 7/27/12

    these are very tasty. The red pepper flakes add just the right amt of heat. And the added bonus of being low carb using the lettuce to wrap it up makes me feel extra virtuous, while still being delicious and satisfying. I've made them twice, will make then many more times. - 2/7/12

    So delicious!! I cut the fat even more by doing 1/2 lean ground beef and 1/2 extra lean ground turkey. I also served with "LaTortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Tortillas" - whole wheat w/ only 50 calories and 7 grams of fiber. - 1/23/12

    This was really good. I made it for friends for lunch and everyone asked for the recipe! I served it with a cabbage slaw and Newman's Own Lighten up Sesame Ginger dressing. It was yummy! - 1/25/11

    We used 1 can of sliced water chestnuts and added some mushrooms. We all loved this recipe! Next time, we're going to cut out half of the beef and add more peppers and mushrooms. Before we were even done eating dinner, we were fighting for the leftovers. I wish I could give it more stars! - 5/19/10

    This was very good. I did, however, make the special sauce to add to the meat. Very close to PF Chang's. - 1/12/09
