Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of romaine lettuce, leaves separated

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Add the Turkey: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

      Season the Mixture: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked turkey and mix well. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the filling is simmering, rinse and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will serve as your taco shells. Arrange them on a serving platter.

          Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the turkey mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

            Serve: Serve the lettuce wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your fresh and healthy turkey taco lettuce wraps!
