Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. cooking oil of your choice
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 Tbsp fish sauce
• 1-2 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce (or to taste)
• 2 Tbsp water
• zest from one large lime
• juice from one large lime
• ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 2 small heads iceberg lettuce, washed and cut into cups

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, then cook the beef until it’s cooked through and starting to brown.
2. While beef cooks, mix the fish sauce, Sriracha sauce, and water in a small bowl.
3. Zest the skin of the lime and squeeze the juice. (You may need two limes to get enough juice, but only use the zest from one lime.)
4. Thinly slice the green onions and chop the cilantro.
5. Most iceberg lettuce doesn’t need washing but remove the outer leaves. Cut out the core and cut the lettuce into quarters to make “cups” to hold the beef mixture.
6. When the beef is done, add the Sriracha Sauce mixture and let it sizzle until the water has evaporated, stirring a few times to mix the sauce in evenly.
7. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
8. Serve the meat in the lettuce wrap and enjoy!
