For a low carb dinner option tonight, I made pork lettuce wraps for my husband and me. He absolutely loved them as did I!

I started by browning a pound of ground pork, seasoned with kosher salt and pepper. To the cooked pork, I added onion, carrots, red pepper and jalapeño. I let the vegetables cook until they had started to soften slightly, about 5 minutes. I then added a cup of broccoli slaw from a package I picked up at the market and 4 cloves of minced garlic. After 30 seconds, I added the zest and juice of two limes which added a little brightness to the pork mixture. Next, I added hoisin sauce, soy sauce sweet chili sauce and rice vinegar. I mixed everything together, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes and a tablespoon of dried orange peel. I let the pork cook on low for about 5 minutes and in that time, I got my butter lettuce and toppings ready.
