Thank you for the feedback! Maybe my lime was just really tart. And in retrospect, I realized it did render a lot more juice than 1.5 T as indicated in the recipe, so I probably shouldn't have used as much as I did. I did use 2 T of sriracha. Anyways, thanks again! I am going to try this again later this week and I'll report back! :)

I'm surprised, as it thought this tasted much more like Sriracha than it did lime. I even squeezed more lime on it when I ate it! Did you use the 2 T of Sriracha?

Definitely you could omit the lime though if you prefer it that way. I would add only about 2 T of stock.

I wanted to love this. I made it tonight but unfortunately the lime flavor was really overpowering, and I couldn't taste any of the other ingredients (I was really looking forward to tasting the sriracha :). Do you think it's ok to omit the lime zest and juice completely? Is there anything I can use to substitute for the moisture of the lime juice, like 1/4 cup beef stock or something? I definitely want to try this again, with maybe only a sprinkle of lime juice. Thanks! :)

Yes. If you look in South Beach Suggestions (after the recipe) it tells what phase each recipe is suitable for.

Is this a phase 1 recipe?

Jess, so glad you guys enjoyed them!

Diana, the inspiring recipe had Thai chiles, sauteed before the beef. I never have those on hand and they're a little hard to work with so I subbed Sriracha and loved the results!

ABSOLUTELY delicious. my boyfriend have been making your lettuce wraps a lot lately and thought we would try this one for a little change. Has a delicious *zing*!!! We added some canned tomatoes that had soaked in oregano, garlic and basil, and also kept in the avocado from the other recipe. 5 stars!!! Wish I was brilliant enough to come up with these on my own too! :)

I love iceberg lettuce. A lovely simple recipe Kalyn. I make a similar dish but have never added siracha sauce to it.
