Directions
Step 1
Gently separate the butter lettuce leaves, wash them under cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until transparent.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, ensuring it does not burn.
Step 4
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes to let the spices infuse with the meat.
Step 6
Add the diced red bell pepper and tomato to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Step 8
To assemble the tacos, place about 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture in the center of each butter lettuce leaf.
