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 cilantro (optional)

Crushed peanuts or cashews (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine diced peaches, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook over medium heat until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break it up, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

      Combine Beef and Glaze: Once the beef is fully cooked, pour the peach glaze over it. Mix well and allow it to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes. If the mixture seems too runny, add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) while stirring until the desired thickness is reached.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center. Top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and crushed nuts for added crunch.

          Serve: Arrange the lettuce wraps on a large serving platter with additional peach glaze on the side for drizzling, and serve immediately.
