Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps

For a lighter alternative to taco shells you can enjoy these lettuce taco wraps. Add your favorite toppings like low fat cheddar, light fat sour cream, chives, tomatoes or whatever you like on your tacos. Making your own taco seasoning is a healthier alternative to buying packaged taco seasoning, and uses less sodium, no sugar, no preservatives and no msg. If you prefer to use the package seasoning, simply replace it with the spices listed here. I got this recipe from a fellow blogger friend. She has tons of great recipes.

I didn't figure the fat and calories on this one, because the turkey and toppings of your choosing are virtually the only calories/fat in them. I would assume that 2 wraps are only about 200 calories and 2.5 g. fat (not including toppings). That's amazing for something that is filling and actually tastes good!

What you'll need:

1.3 lbs 99% lean ground turkey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 small onion, minced
2 tbsp bell pepper, minced
3/4 cup water
1/2 8 oz can tomato sauce
8 large lettuce leaves from Iceberg lettuce

Brown turkey in a large skillet. When no longer pink add dry seasoning and mix well. Add onion, pepper, water and tomato sauce and cover. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.

Wash and dry the lettuce. Place meat in the center of leaf and top with tomatoes, cheese and salsa or whatever you prefer. (Toppings extra points)

My hubs is not a lettuce fan and he even liked them. However, he did prefer his 2nd AND 3rd taco on whole wheat tortillas :P

Hope you enjoy them!
