All the taco flavor, none of the tortilla carbs. Fast weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 head butter lettuce, large leaves separated
  • 1/2 cup salsa (fresh pico preferred)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (as sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar
  • 1 lime
  • Taco spices: 1.5 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, salt

Directions

  1. Cook turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking apart, until browned.
  2. Add taco spices and 1/4 cup water. Stir and cook 3-4 minutes.

Stack 2 lettuce leaves per taco for sturdiness.

  1. Fill with seasoned turkey. Top with salsa, avocado, cheese, and Greek yogurt.
  2. Squeeze lime juice over everything.

Notes

Bibb (butter) lettuce makes the strongest cups. Use 2 stacked leaves to prevent tearing.
