Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite easy healthy meals during the weekdays. This recipe only calls for 3 ingredients + whatever toppings you would like to use! This recipe calls for Trader Joe’s new Thai green chili sauce (which is amazing!), but if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s in the area, you can use teriyaki sauce.
Trader Joe’s 3-Ingredient Lettuce Wraps
Equipment
- Large nonstick skillet
- Chef’s knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground meat I prefer pork
- 1 jar Trader Joe’s Thai Style Green Chili Sauce
- Salt
- Romaine butter lettuce, or iceberg lettuce, to make lettuce wraps
- Optional toppings: grated carrots pickled red onions (I have a recipe on my site!), cilantro, peanuts, sesame seeds, cucumber, avocado, mango… the sky’s the limit
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. If using pork or beef, add it to the skillet with no oil. If using chicken or turkey, warm 1 tablespoon oil before adding.
- Stir, breaking the meat into tiny crumbles, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease or liquid (pork and beef will have grease, turkey and chicken will have liquid). Turn the heat down to medium and stir in 1/4 cup Green Chili Sauce and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Build lettuce wraps with the meat and lots of toppings!
