Jump to Recipe
Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps – a quick and easy dinner you can get on the table in just minutes! The ground beef mixture is super flavorful and perfect in lettuce cups or even over rice.
I love when dinner gets on the table in about 15 minutes, and this is one of those meals that you are going to have on repeat because it is just so simple and delicious. Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a light and fresh version with ground chicken that as lots of Asian flavors.
These ground beef lettuce wraps are a fun twist from the traditional with more of a spiced burger flavor than the normal Asian ingredients.
Lettuce wraps are one of those foods that people think is complicated to make. But it really could not be easier. The real effort comes in how many toppings you want to add, and the chopping involved. This version is quick and easy without a lot of chopping or prep work.

Lettuce Wrap Toppings
You really can put whatever toppings you like on these, but here are a few things that we really like.
- Shredded Carrots
- Chopped Peanuts
- Sriracha Mayo or something like Canes Sauce
- Green Onions
- Cabbage
- Tomatoes
What Lettuce Is Good For Wraps
Any type of green leafy lettuce works great for lettuce wraps, but ideally you want something crispy and can hold up to the filling.
- Romaine Hearts
- Iceberg
- Boston Bib Lettuce
Storage
The filling for these lettuce wraps can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. It will last for 3-4 days in the fridge in an air tight container. It is best to avoid filling the lettuce cups until you are ready to eat them, or the lettuce gets soggy.
Recipe Tips
- This works great with any ground meat. If you want to use ground turkey instead, it works just as well.
- Don't want to open a can of tomato sauce for just a little bit? Use ketchup!
- Bulk up the filling by adding vegetables. Chopped Bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms are all great ideas.
- Some of your family doesn't like lettuce cups? Serve over rice or cauliflower rice if you are trying to do low carb.
