Pork Lettuce Wraps
This is a simple, low-carb meal that is sure to please the whole family. They are veggie packed and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Pork
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- ½ Yellow Onion finely chopped
- 1 cup Baby Bella Mushrooms chopped can use any type of mushroom you have on hand
- 1 cup Zucchini finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ cup Side Dish Creamy Sesame
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 1 cup Carrots shredded
- 3 Green Onion sliced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 head Savoy Cabbage can also use bib lettuce
Instructions
- Heat a pan to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and ground pork. Brown the pork for 5 minutes.
- Finely chop yellow onion, mushrooms, and zucchini. To expedite the chopping, you can use a food processor for the onion and mushrooms.
- Add the chopped yellow onion, mushrooms, zucchini, ground ginger, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the pork. Continue to sauté for 5 minutes.
- Next, combine the Side Dish Creamy Sesame sauce, rice vinegar, and coconut aminos in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add this sauce to the pan along with the shredded carrots and continue to saute for 5 minutes.
- While the meat is finishing cooking, pull apart the cabbage (or lettuce) leaves and rinse them. Dry them with a paper towel, being careful not to rip the leaves.
- Scoop about ½ cups of the meat and veggie mixture into each cabbage cup and top with green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you like a little spice, be sure to add some sriracha on top to give this recipe a little kick.
You can also use ground turkey or ground chicken in this recipe.
I like Savoy cabbage the best because it is crisp and adds some crunch, but bib lettuce, romaine lettuce, or other cabbage work as well.
