Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, bell pepper, and ½ cup onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes, or until onions become translucent.
- Push vegetables to the side of the pan and add last tablespoon of olive oil and ground turkey. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through. Mix vegetables with ground turkey once fully cooked.
- Add taco seasoning and salsa, stir well, and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and let turkey taco mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, fill each lettuce cup up with equal amounts of ground turkey mixture and top with avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a salsa you really like. The salsa gives the ground turkey a ton of its flavor, so make sure you really like the one you're using!
- Make taco seasoning from scratch. Homemade taco seasoning is the best to use since you can control the spice level and how much sodium goes into it.
- Prep the avocados just before serving. Since they turn brown pretty quickly, wait to cut the avocado until very last.
- Switch up the lettuce wraps. Different lettuces will have a softer bite or more of a crunch, so switch them up until you find one you like!
- To Prep-Ahead: Cook taco meat and clean and cut the toppings. Store the meat and toppings separately. Wait to prep the avocado until just before serving.
- To Store: Keep the cooked meat and prepared toppings in individual airtight containers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- To Freeze: Leftover taco meat can be frozen in a freezer-safe airtight container for 3-4 months. The lettuce and toppings will not freeze well.
- To Reheat: Add the taco meat to a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Once warmed, assemble the wraps with the toppings.
