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 ground ginger

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 cilantro (optional)

Crushed peanuts or cashews (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if you choose to use them). Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly into a glaze.

    Cook the Ground 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 no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

      Combine Beef and Glaze: Once the beef is thoroughly cooked, pour the peach glaze over the beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes. If the mixture appears too runny, gradually add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously until the desired thickness is achieved.

        Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Take a crisp lettuce leaf and spoon a generous portion of the peachy beef mixture into the center. Top with chopped green onions, a sprinkle of cilantro (if using), and a handful of crushed peanuts or cashews for an added crunchy texture.

          Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the assembled lettuce wraps on a large serving platter. Serve with the remaining peach glaze on the side for drizzling. Enjoy immediately for a delightful and refreshing meal!
