You can reduce the points and calories by omitting the sesame oil, but it adds a lot of flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Cook and drain the ground beef (add up to a tablespoon of fat-free Italian dressing if required). Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and heat. Add the cabbage and carrots and sauté for 2 minutes.
3. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook for 5 minutes, until mixture heats through and cabbage wilts, stirring frequently.
5. Spoon some of the beef into the center of each lettuce leaf and roll up.
6. Note: adapted from a recipe by Robin Miller (The Food Network).
7. Note 2: I buy shredded cabbage and carrots and use the leftovers in a side dish of curried bulgur. I also cook up extra ground beef when I make dishes with ground beef and freeze it.
