Citrus Berry Beef Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 head of lettuce (butter or romaine work best for wraps)
• 2 carrots, shredded
• 1 lemon (zest + juice)
• 1 orange (zest + juice)
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries, chopped if large)
• 1/2 cup grapes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional for balance)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped mint or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef.
   • Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
   • Add salt, pepper, lemon zest, orange zest, and a splash of both juices.
   • Simmer 2–3 minutes until liquid reduces a bit and beef is citrusy and flavorful.
2. Make the Berry Salsa:
   • In a bowl, combine mixed berries, grapes, shredded carrots, and a squeeze of lemon and orange juice.
   • Add honey if the fruit is tart, and a pinch of salt.
   • Toss gently and chill while the beef finishes.
3. Assemble Wraps:
   • Separate lettuce leaves and wash/dry.
   • Spoon some citrus beef into each leaf.
   • Top with berry-carrot salsa.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs if using.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve as a light lunch, appetizer, or party bite. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or hummus if you want extra creaminess.
