Instructions
- Make the sauce. Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small measuring glass then set aside once done.
- Cook the filling. Add a splash of olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and crumble it with a spatula. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated.
- Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers and carrots. Continue cooking until the vegetables are softened (about 3-4 minutes). Pour the sauce over the ground beef and let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve. Spoon the beef mixture into your lettuce leaves and garnish with your desired toppings.
