Lettuce wraps originated in China, but they’re super popular in Laos and Thailand, where the lettuce is filled with larb—a spicy salad made with with ground meat and vegetables.

Tacos, right?

Our super simple version is made using our Thai Green Curry Spice Blend, some ground meat (or tofu) and a little coconut milk. If you don’t like coconut milk, you can use water instead. And if you don’t eat meat, you can use tofu. If you can’t find Thai basil, use regular. You get the point—as long as you have the filling and the lettuce, the rest is your choice!

Directions

In a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven, cook meat (or tofu), onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink (stirring to break up into small pieces); drain if necessary (meat mixture should be mostly dry).
Stir in 1/2 can coconut milk OR 1 cup water and pack of Masi Masa Thai Green Curry Spice Blend. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until the coconut milk (or water) is evaporated, 10-15 minutes.

To Serve

Load up your lettuce leaves with meat and toppings!

Recipe Note

We prefer to put the meat in a large bowl and let everyone make their own wraps at the table.
