Teriyaki Lettuce Wraps

Made this dinner for my family the other night. Took a total of 30 minutes (including food prep) and UNDER $15 for 4 people. Even if you have to buy the soy sauce, it will still be under $20. This recipe is so quick, cheap and easy. It is perfect for a busy night after work or the gym! Also, if you live alone and are big into meal prep, make this and have it for 3 other days of the week…you really can’t go wrong.
