Healthy, spicy, and delicious. These Beef lettuce wraps are easy to prepare and even better to eat. Plus, they are low-carb and paleo!Beef Lettuce Wraps with Spicy Cilantro Jalapeno SauceIf you haven’t tried lettuce wraps yet, then it’s about time you jump on board. I love lettuce wraps because they are healthy, low-fat, low-carb, and skinny. I’ve been stuffing my face with these non-stop, guilt free because they are low-carb.

I topped off these delicious beef lettuce wraps with a spicy yogurt cilantro lime jalapeno sauce. It’s creamy, zesty and spicy and takes these lettuce wraps to the next level. I started off with just a drizzle but it was so good so I poured a whole bunch is my wrap and ate away.
