This was amazing!! I love how it's not a ton of ingredients, but you still get a TON of flavor. I used ground chicken instead of beef, because I'm trying to cut out red meat. I also didn't use the peanuts because I can't eat them. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and it was so delicious. Leftovers reheat really well too. Tasted even better when I ate it for lunch the next day. I can't wait to make this again!
Tip for perfect lettuce cups: Cut around the stem of the head of lettuce (I use Iceberg lettuce, because it's easily found and remove it (don't cut too deep. After you remove the stem, remove the leaves starting from the stem side. They should come off smoothly and have a perfect cup shape. Enjoy!

This is a five star recipe simply because you get great results with minimal effort. Not to be confused with a 5 star rating for cassoulet (which would have to be sublime to get 5 stars. Two of my family members are on a low carb diet and that's why this recipe got chosen. Don't skip the nuts because, the texture profile of a nut or some other crunchy item is important. Another poster suggested water chestnuts which I think is also a good idea.
