Thai Beef Wraps

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef

1 small red pepper, seeded & thinly sliced

3 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced

2 T. finely chopped ginger

2 cloves minced garlic

1/2 t. red pepper flakes

1 T. sugar

3 T. soy sauce

1 t. sesame oil

12 large Boston or Butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry

1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

1 bunch each mint and cilantro leaves, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions: Brown hamburger over med-high heat until cooked through. Add pepper, scallion, ginger, garlic, pepper flakes and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat, stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. To serve, top lettuce leaf with cucumber, mint and cilantro. Place 1/4 c. of beef mixture on top. Squeeze lime over top, roll and eat.

Side notes: I doubled this recipe for my fam. This is really good but kind of messy. I thought this filling would be awesome in egg rolls. I used a mixture of red, yellow and orange mini peppers and it was really good. The sesame oil, mint and cilantro really make this. Don't skimp on these.
