Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 8 Butter Lettuce Leaves
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Avocado sliced
- 1 cup Red Onion diced
- 1 cup Tomato diced
- Lime wedges for garnish
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Cook the Beef. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add Seasonings. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add water to the skillet and mix well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the flavors meld together and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Prepare the Vegetables. While the beef is cooking, wash and separate the butter lettuce leaves. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Assemble the Wraps. To serve, place a spoonful of the spicy ground beef mixture in the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Garnish and Serve. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
