Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try!

It would be very helpful in ground beef recipes if recipe writers would provide the lean/fat ratio of the beef. Or is it the case (hardly imaginable!) that the macros are not any different for, say, 80/20 beef vs 90/10? Thank you 😊

As far as I know you shouldn’t heat olive oil very hot ...
KarinLynn 4 years ago
EVOO shouldn't be heated to smoking. Regular olive oil, or a combination oil like Avocado/olive can be heated.

Tons of flavour and very filling. Super quick and easy and really inexpensive.

What percentage of fat for the ground beef?

How many lettuce cups are considered as a serving? This recipe sounds good. Wanting to try it. Can you also salt the lettuce before you put the filling in it?
recipewriter 6 years ago
Hi, that is correct - the recipe serves 2 leaves per person. Yes you can salt the lettuce if you wished to. Hope this helps.
pikolo99 6 years ago
I would say 2. The recipe calls for a total of 4 leaves and there are 2 servings. (Not sure about the salt, though.)
