Asian Beef Tortilla Bites
These awesome appetizers start off with a delicious ground beef base mixture that you can also use to make a simple stir-fry recipe (see Cook’s Notes).
Ingredients
4 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced ginger root
2 carrots, grated
¾ cup (175 mL) chopped water chestnuts
⅓ cup (75 mL) hoisin sauce
¼ cup (50 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) cornstarch
½ tsp (2 mL) freshly ground pepper
6 leaf lettuce leaves
12 flour tortillas, warmed
Directions
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.
