Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper cut into strips
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- butter leaf lettuce rinsed and patted dry
- cheese and other toppings
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium and sauté the onion until it begins to sweat and starts to become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and continue sautéing another 7 minutes before adding the garlic. Cook until bell pepper is tender but still al dente. If at any point, the veggies look like they’re drying out, add a couple of tablespoons of water or broth to help them steam.
- Add the ground turkey meat along with all of the spices and salt. Stir and chop the meat into quarter-sized hunks. Continue stirring and cooking until meat is cooked all the way through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Prepare your lettuce wraps by spooning desired amount of fajita fixings on top of lettuce leaves. Add desired toppings, such as cheese, rice, beans, avocado, salsa or sour cream.
- Wrap and enjoy!
