Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped

3 green onions, chopped

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 head of butter lettuce (or iceberg lettuce), leaves separated

Fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

        Stir in the diced red bell pepper and chopped shiitake mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

          In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Pour this sauce over the beef mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

            Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.

              To serve, spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into each lettuce leaf, adding fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts if desired.

                Enjoy your delicious wraps fresh, folding the lettuce over the filling to eat!
