Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 large lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is melted and hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the beef into small pieces as it cooks.
Season the beef with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices with the meat.
Cook the beef for about 8-10 minutes until fully browned and no pink remains.
Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomato is warm and slightly softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
Lay the large lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the leaves.
Top each lettuce wrap with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Gently roll each lettuce leaf around the beef filling to create a wrap. You may secure them with a toothpick if needed.
Serve the wraps with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wraps just before eating for a burst of citrus flavor.
