Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons turmeric root powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ small red onion diced
- 8 leaves butter lettuce
- 1 large avocado sliced or diced
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
- Warm the coconut oil over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add the turmeric and black pepper. Heat for a minute or two.
- Place the meat in the oil and break apart with a spatula.
- Add the garlic, cumin and salt. Pan fry.
- In the last minute of cooking, add the cilantro and onion. Cook until meat is done.
- Arrange your leaves on a serving plate, use two leaves per wrap. Divide the meat evenly into each of the shells, top with avocado and sour cream.
Notes
Taste the meat filling as it cooks so you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. When it's time to serve, just rinse the lettuce in cold water, dry it on parchment paper, and set everything out on a tray so everyone can build their own. Just be sure to use sturdy leaves and don't overfill them so they don't break.
Store: Keep an airtight container and the lettuce in a paper towel-lined container. They should keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the mixture in a freezer-safe bag for up to 30 days. Thaw the frozen mixture overnight in the fridge before eating.
Serve: Pair with salad, brown rice, cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, grilled or stir-fried vegetables, kimchi, sauerkraut, baked or air-fried sweet potatoes, guacamole or avocado salsa for dipping or topping.
