Instructions
-
1.
Cook the beef filling:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 75°C to be safe for consumption.
- 2. Add vegetables and seasoning: Stir in the diced zucchini, chopped broccolini, coriander, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- 3. Assemble the wraps: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Scoop the beef mixture into the centre of each leaf. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to wrap their own.
- 4. Prepare the ingredients: Finely dice the zucchini and chop the broccolini into small pieces. Mince the coriander leaves. Set aside in separate bowls to keep them organised.
Tips and Variations
- For a spicier version, add chopped chilli or a dash of sriracha to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer, substitute the broccolini with finely chopped red bell pepper for added sweetness and crunch.
- You can prepare the beef filling ahead of time and reheat it just before serving.
