Instrucciones

Cook beef in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with potato masher or wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain. Add onions, garlic, ginger, carrots and water chestnuts; cook over medium heat until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.

Whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, cornstarch and pepper. Pour into pan and cook stirring until combined and slightly thickened. Keep warm.

Cut tortillas into quarters. Lay piece of leaf lettuce on each quarter. Mound about 1/4 cup (50 mL) beef filling on each and roll up into cone shape. Secure sides with toothpick.

Cook's Notes 1: You can prepare the beef mixture in advance, dividing it into portions and freezing for up to 3 months. Then, when having a get-together, just thaw some to make into appetizers.
Cook's Notes 2: You can use half the cooked beef mixture as a quick supper stir fry: In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 3 cups (750 mL) trimmed cut green beans and 1 red pepper cut into strips; stir-fry briefly. Add 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add 3 cups (750 mL) cooked beef mixture; cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until hot. Serve over noodles sprinkled with chopped peanuts (if desired). Makes 6 main and 12 starter courses.
