At Avdaye, we add lots of tips in all of our recipes – because we are a home cook without any formal training, and we find we are more confident making dishes when we understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. Our goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Keto Beef Lettuce Wraps

They are fun to eat, pretty (yes, food when you are trying to lose weight needs to look good, too), and work well for dinner parties or entertaining.

We made these individually, but you could also set out a table full of fillings and encourage guests to make their own wrap!

This recipe would work perfectly for a wrap station- add extra garnishes like sweet peppers, sprouts, fajita chicken, raw diced onions, sauteed eggplant, chopped blanched almonds- whatever you'd like to add as an accent!

While sriracha is hot, this recipe isn't incredibly spicy- but we suggest starting with a little sriracha and adding more as you go so you don't end up with something spicier than you prefer.

You can always add more- but you can't take the heat away.

So add it by drizzling in- not measuring out teaspoonfuls.
