Laura's Lean Beef Larb Wraps



Light and bright food is my favorite food for summer time. #ad I love packing dishes with fresh herbs and citrus. That being said, I also don't want to feel unsatisfied munching on a lone carrot stick. That is why I love making dishes that are satisfying but also nutritious. So much of eating good food also means eating QUALITY food. That is why I continue to buy Laura's Lean Ground Beef over the competitors' every time. Laura's Lean beef was raised without antibiotics or hormones and are vegetarian fed. They meet the strict USDA standards for truly lean beef without ever compromising the flavors you expect from ground beef. Whether your auto ship game is on point or you snatch it up at local grocery stores, Laura's Lean is the superior choice for lean, natural beef.

Today I have used it in a Thai inspired Beef Larb Lettuce Wrap. It is fresh, satisfying and the perfect meal for summer time!
