Mediterranean Lettuce Cups

Ingredients

OZO™ Plant-Based Ground	12 oz.
Extra-virgin olive oil	1 Tablespoon
Garlic cloves, minced	3 Cloves
Kosher salt	¾ Teaspoon
Dried oregano	1 Teaspoon
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper	¼ Teaspoon
Iceberg or butter lettuce	1 Lettuce Head
Red pepper hummus	10 oz.
Cherry tomatoes, halved	1 Cup
Cucumber, diced	1 Cup
Mint leaves, chopped	3 Tablespoons
Pine nuts, toasted	2 Tablespoons

Directions

Step 1

Warm oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add ground, garlic, salt, oregano, and black pepper and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, add cooked ground and toss with tomatoes and cucumber.

Step 4

Cut the base of the lettuce head and carefully peel the leaves away so they stay as intact as possible. Place leaves on a platter.

Step 5

Spread 1-2 tablespoons hummus onto each lettuce leaf. Place about ¼ cup of the ground mixture in the center of each.

Step 6

Top evenly with tomatoes and cucumber. Garnish with mint and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.
