In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.

Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the skillet, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of honey, stirring to combine and allowing the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes.

While the beef is cooking, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/2 red bell pepper (diced), 1/4 red onion (finely chopped), the juice of 1 lime, and a handful of chopped cilantro in a bowl.

Season the salsa with salt to taste. To serve, spoon the spicy beef mixture into large lettuce leaves, top with mango salsa, and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Enjoy your flavorful wraps!
