Spiced Beef Lettuce Wraps with Charred Peppers and Avocado

Steps

1. Slice peppers into strips and dice onion; heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add peppers and onion, cook 5–6 minutes until charred and tender, then transfer to a plate (set aside half for plain portions if serving to children).
2. In the same skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains (internal temp 160°F); drain excess fat if needed.
3. Stir chili powder and 1 tablespoon olive oil into the beef, then add charred peppers and onion back to the skillet and toss for 1 minute (add half the chili powder to reserved peppers for a mild version).
4. Slice avocados lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl; separate and arrange butter lettuce leaves on a large platter.
5. Divide beef mixture among lettuce leaves, top each with avocado slices and charred peppers, roll gently, and serve immediately.
