Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 cup diced peaches (fresh or canned)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ginger powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated and rinsed

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Crushed peanuts or cashews (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes (if you’re using them). Stir occasionally and cook until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it is nicely browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.

      Combine Beef and Glaze: Pour the prepared peach glaze over the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir to thoroughly combine and simmer on low for an additional 3-5 minutes. If the mixture appears too runny, gradually add the cornstarch slurry while stirring until the mixture reaches your desired thickness.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous portion of the peachy beef mixture into the center. Top each wrap with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a sprinkling of crushed peanuts or cashews for an added crunch and flavor.

          Serve: Arrange the assembled lettuce wraps on a large serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining peach glaze if desired, and serve immediately for the freshest experience.
