Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Sticky Sriracha Sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha

Toppings

  • 1 head Boston leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced red cabbage
  • 1/2 cup Carrot matchsticks
  • 1/2 Diced red pepper
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together for meatballs and roll into 1-inch sized balls. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, then add meatballs and cook for 7-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Set aside or freeze for later, reheating for 2-3 min in the microwave as needed.
  • Meanwhile, prepare veggies, adding to lettuce leaves. If serving meatballs right away, mix together ingredients for sauce in a large bowl, then toss cooked meatballs in sauce. Top lettuce wraps with 2-3 meatballs each and serve with extra sriracha and soy sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Boston leaf, romaine and iceberg lettuce are all best for lettuce wraps.
Assemble your wraps fresh so the lettuce doesn’t get soggy.
Make and freeze the meatballs beforehand to save time on meal prep. Raw meatballs will freeze for 4 months and cooked meatballs for 3 months.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Microwave the meatballs for a couple minutes then assemble the lettuce wraps fresh.
