These lettuce wraps are one of my new favorite things. They are quick, super simple and obviously delicious. They also make GREAT leftovers or make ahead lunches. Reheat the filling and have your lettuce cups ready to go!

How to make Vegan Beef Lettuce Wraps

The process for making these lettuce wraps is beyond easy. Grab your sauce ingredients – which is just a combo of hoisin sauce, soy sauce & rice vinegar. Next cook up some onion, garlic & ginger in sesame oil. Things will start smelling good at this point.

Add in your vegan beef crumbles – I got mine at Trader Joe’s, but you can find them in the fridge/freezer section at just about any store. You could also swap them out for lentils if beef crumbles aren’t your thing.

Lastly add in the sauce ingredients, water chestnuts (hello, crunchy goodness), some green onion and some chili peppers (again, optional, but totally tasty). Let everything get hot and bubbly, and you are ready to eat.

How to serve Vegan Beef Lettuce Wraps

To serve these, just grab a head of butter lettuce and load up the leaves with the filling. I like adding some extra green onion, cashews and lime juice on top.

Again, if you are making these ahead of time, store the cooled filling and lettuce leaves in separate containers and reheat the filling right before eating.
