     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

     different but good - 8/1/18

     My whole family of four loved this. I halved the recipe and used carrots instead of water chestnuts. I skipped the almonds as I didn't have any. I'm sure almonds would only make it better. I bought one head of bibb lettuce and it was not enough. I will definitely make this again! - 7/27/16

     I just want to say that I love this recipe and make it quite often. The only substitution that I make is ground turkey instead of ground ground beef. Warning is it's a little messy and addictive. - 9/21/13

     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

     Would be great with Chicken too! - 1/9/11
  • AIMERFACE1
     I added a bit more Hoisin sauce, but we loved it. I am confused is there supposed to be Celery in the recipe? See it in the instructions but not the ingredient list! Thanks!! - 10/28/10

  • SBOYKIN
     realy good and may try this with kale and fruit salsa next time - 6/17/10
  • TERIJH
     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
