Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 package LightLife® Original Smart Ground
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated or finely minced
  • 1 large or 2 small vine tomatoes, finely diced
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha, to taste (or another hot sauce)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 head bibb lettuce*

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the Smart Ground and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds more.
  3. Add the tomatoes and lots of black pepper, and cook until the tomatoes collapse and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and sriracha.
  5. When the crumbles are ready, stir in the sauce mixture and turn the heat off. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Sprinkle with scallions.
  6. Gently tear the leaves off the lettuce and make individual stacks of 2 leaves. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of crumbles into each “cup”. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you can’t find bibb lettuce, use romaine or green cabbage leaves instead.
