Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook and stir until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and sesame oil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
  • While the beef cooks, toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Spoon the ground beef mixture into lettuce leaves and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Serve right away.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Browning the Beef - Break up the beef into small pieces as it cooks for the best texture.
Toasting Nuts - Keep an eye on the pine nuts— they toast fast and can burn quickly.
Serving - Serve everything family style so everyone can make their own wraps.

Storing and Reheating

Reheat on Stovetop – Place the beef mixture in a skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Warm over low heat, stirring until hot.
Storing - Store any extra filling separately from the lettuce leaves in the fridge for up to 3 days. Lettuce is best fresh.
