Instructions
1

Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

2

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing well to combine the spices with the beef.

3

Pour in 1/4 cup of beef broth and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4

While the beef is simmering, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/2 red onion (finely chopped), 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced), the juice of 1 lime, and a handful of chopped cilantro in a bowl.

5

Mix the salsa gently and set it aside. To assemble the wraps, take 8 large romaine lettuce leaves and spoon a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef into each leaf.

6

Top the beef with slices of avocado and a spoonful of the mango salsa. Serve the wraps immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired, and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors!
