Spy Thai BeefPeanut butter, soy sauce, ginger and garlic introduce ethnic flavors to picky palates.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef (93% lean or leaner)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter or regular sunflower seed butter
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
24 baked wonton wrappers (optional)

Cooking Directions:

  1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove drippings.
  2. Meanwhile, combine water, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger and red pepper.
  3. Stir peanut butter mixture into beef. Continue to cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Evenly divided beef mixture over six wonton triangles, if desired. Garnish with toppings, as desired.
