Beef lettuce wraps are a popular Asian-inspired dish that originated in China and gained popularity in the United States. This dish typically consists of seasoned ground beef, water chestnuts, and other flavorful ingredients, all wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves.

Today, the best versions of beef lettuce wraps can be found in Asian fusion restaurants across the country, with some establishments offering a spicy or vegetarian alternative.
