lettuce wraps AND ground beef tacos

More fat in the lean ground beef than I expected.  I tilted the pan on a bamboo spoon handle to drain.  I used paper towel to absorb the fat.

I divided the cooked crumbles into 2 bowl. One for lettuce wraps the other for tacos.

I added chopped celery, chopped onion, crushed ginger, and hoisin into the meat.  Microwaved the meat until hot. I don't add bamboo shoots or water chestnuts  (I don't like them).  

I peeled the outer layers off a washed head of lettuce.

I do like sticks of green onion in my lettuce wrap.  

I added peanut sauce before wrapping.

ready to eat. I buy the sauces at Saigon  restaurant in Abbotsford.  They are available at Safeway and Save On foods.

I saved one portion of the meat for tacos, the other half is for lettuce wraps

Cooke the meat with taco seasoning and water, to taste.  Cook off the water.

vegetables and cheese for the tacos, add what you enjoy (salsa is from a jar).

Bake taco shells and assemble with meat and veg (I forgot to take a  photo of the finished product)
