Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for optimal flavor)

1/2 cup finely diced peaches (fresh or canned, well-drained)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust based on desired spice level)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 cup shredded carrots

1 head of butter or Romaine lettuce, leaves carefully separated

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly until well mixed, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld together while you continue with the recipe.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break the beef into small pieces. Cook for approximately 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and fully cooked.

      Add the Glaze: Pour the prepared peach glaze over the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir to evenly coat the beef with the sauce and let the mixture simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes. This will help the sauce thicken slightly and infuse the beef with a sweet and savory flavor.

        Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the beef is simmering, rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water to clean them. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel, taking care to keep the leaves intact for wrapping.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and add a generous spoonful of the peach-glazed beef mixture to the center. Top it off with a handful of shredded carrots and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for added flavor and crunch.

            Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each assembled wrap. Serve the wraps immediately, inviting guests to wrap and enjoy their delicious creations!
