Spicy Beef and Kidney Bean Lettuce Cups

Lunches nowadays are almost nonexistent for me. With one toddler and one four year old, there seems never time just to sit down and have a lunch.  And by the time I finally have a free minute to eat I am always starving and ready to wolf down anything. And I have to admit that not always it’s a healthy or wise choice.

Aromatic, delicious and satisfying goulash to enjoy with your friends and family. You can add more vegetables and spices to make it more like a stew or enjoy simply like this.
