Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon chili paste

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

For the Filling:

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 pound ground beef (or chicken)

1/2 cup diced mushrooms

1/2 cup shredded bell peppers (any color)

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, honey, chili paste, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the Filling: Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or chicken) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the Veggies: Stir in the diced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.

4. Combine: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the meat and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

5. Finish: Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro, mint, and sesame seeds.

6. Assemble: Spoon the filling into individual butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with chopped peanuts and extra cilantro if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
