Instructions

Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing well to coat the beef evenly.

Pour in 1/2 cup of coconut milk and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

While the beef is simmering, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/4 cup of red onion (finely chopped), 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped), the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Mix well and set aside. Once the beef is cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from heat.

To serve, take 8 large lettuce leaves and spoon the spiced ground beef mixture into each leaf. Top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for added crunch.

Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
