Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container, with the beef mixture and lettuce separate. The recipe will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Ground beef: You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken
- Soy Sauce: If you have a soy allergy, try tamari sauce, or liquid aminos, and you can't tell the difference in taste.
- Hoisin Sauce: If you're looking for a gluten free alternative, try teriyaki sauce or just more peanut butter.
- Peanut Butter: If you have a peanut allergy, you can substitute any nut butter or seed butter.
