Lettuce Wrap Tacos
These lettuce wrap tacos are definitely a crowd pleaser, TASTY, and is super healthy! I love using ground turkey and black beans because it makes this recipe high protein and keeps you feeling full for hours! I made lettuce wraps today, but this is also a great option for making taco salad bowls ! Love seeing your foodie photos, tag me if you try this!
What you’ll need:
Servings: 4-6
2lbs ground turkey
12oz can drained organic black beans
1 tsp cumin
2 tsps dried oregano
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsps chicken bullion powder
2 tsps onion powder
2 tsps garlic powder (or fresh 4 chopped garlic cloves)
salt
black pepper
lettuce of choice
salsa of choice
cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
Tomato Salsa-
2 diced tomatoes
1/4 cup corn kernnels (canned)
1 diced jalapeno
fresh chopped cilantro
salt
black pepper
1/2 lime (juice)
Guacamole-
3 large avocados
1/2 red onion (diced)
1 jalapeno
1 lime (juice)
salt
black pepper
Instructions:
Heat up a large skillet pan and add some olive oil— once pan is warm add in ground turkey and spices. Continue stir frying until ground turkey is about 50% cooked through, then add in drained black beans. Stir fry until ground turkey is completely cooked through and transfer to a bowl.
Prepare tomato salsa by combining diced tomatoes, diced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, corn kernels, half of a lime squeezed juice, salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Make guacamole by removing skin and pits of avocado and adding to a large ming bowl. Add in diced red onion, diced jalapeno, 1 whole lime squeezed juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until avocado is broken down and is mixed to your liking— I like having a little bit of avocado chunks.
Assemble lettuce tacos— Lay down clean romaine lettuce leaves and add in spoonfuls of ground turkey/black bean mix, followed by tomato corn salsa, then guacamole. I topped off with store bought salsa! You can also garnish with more lime juice, cheese, or sour cream.
ENJOY!
