Meal Idea: Turkey Lettuce Tacos

This meal idea helps curve some of those cravings for Mexican food, or rather the cheap substitutions that can be so addicting late at night.  I made this for dinner last night and I will be having leftovers tonight.  It is easy to make this in smaller portions by just cooking less turkey.

For this all I did was brown some 99% fat free ground turkey and then add taco seasoning and water for full taco flavor.  Once ready I served it under green leaf lettuce as a shell substitute.  Usually you find lettuce wraps done with iceburg lettuce but I'm really not a fan of the watery taste.  Plus iceburg lettuce has almost no nutritional value.  I think next time butter lettuce would be a better choice as it often hold a better shape.

I topped the taco with avocado, black olives, a sprinkle of chedder cheese, and some Frontera tomatillo salsa by man Rick Bayless.

I served with some fat-free refried beans and mexican rice for a full Mexican-inspired meal, although my boyfriend would probably shake his head at me for calling this Mexican food.
