For all you Mexican lovers
Taco Tuesdays is a weekly dinner in my house for my five roommates and I. We love tacos but with these tacos we make them with a twist. Taco’s can be more on the high calorie side and with spring break around the corner we been making dinners that are yummy but healthy. This is a recipe for people who want to be healthy but still keep tacos in their diet. These wraps are very yummy and satisfying, but also filling and the best part still healthy!!
Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
- Package of romaine lettuce
- Ground lean turkey package (usually one package can be made for two people)
- Low sodium taco seasoning packet
- Toppings (choose whatever you like!) examples: light sour cream, shredded cheese, tomatoes, chives, avocado
What makes this recipe healthy if you noticed is there is no tortillas, or hard taco shells. The romaine lettuce is in replacement of the unhealthy tortilla or shell. My roommates and I really don’t feel like we are missing out when not eating the shell. Sometimes after eating the traditional tacos we felt too full and with these we feel just right after eating them.
Directions:
- Brown the turkey in a large skillet pan and break it all up.
- Let it cook and add in the seasoning packet and mix it all together.
- If desired add in onions, or other ingredients to make it more flavorful. (I personally don’t add in anything else)
- Make sure you wash your lettuce and place on a plate.
- Place the turkey meat in the middle of each of the lettuce pieces.
- Top it off with your topping choices.
- ENJOY TACO TUESDAY
This is the recipe we use every Tuesday, there are many variation of flavors for these lettuce wraps. Altered recipes like this are there for you to be able to still eat and enjoy the foods you like just in a little healthier way that makes a big difference. Be conscious when adding the toppings to make sure you don’t over do it or add to much to then make it unhealthy.
I hope I made your taco Tuesday healthier and also yummier! Make this with your friends, family or even boyfriend/girlfriend and they’ll love you forever.
