Taco Lettuce Wraps

Taco Lettuce Wraps feature a flavorful ground turkey mixture seasoned with salsa, green chiles, and taco spices, combined with corn, black beans, and fresh cilantro. Served in crisp butter lettuce leaves, these wraps offer a refreshing, lighter alternative to traditional tacos. Optional shredded cheddar and sour cream add creamy and tangy notes, creating a balanced texture and flavor combination that's hearty yet fresh.

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks; drain excess fat.
