Indian Spiced Beefy Lettuce Wraps

Flavorful
Description

Since I love the flavors of Indian food, I almost always have coconut milk, a jar of mango chutney and garam masala seasoning in my pantry. This recipe is one of my go-tos when I am short on time but want something that tastes spectacular. If you’d like to give this a different style of Asian flair, use hoisin sauce in place of chutney and Chinese five-spice powder in place of garam masala.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup mango chutney
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 package (12.70 ounces) asian crunch salad mix
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • 12 bibb or boston lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and sliced
Directions
  1. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in chutney, soy sauce and garam masala; heat through. Add salad mix (reserve packets); cook and stir until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine coconut milk and reserved dressing packet until smooth. Spoon beef mixture into lettuce leaves; sprinkle with contents from reserved toppings packet. Drizzle with coconut milk mixture and top with mango.
