Ingredients
- 12 large leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Tomato, diced
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 large Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the butter lettuce leaves and patting them dry with paper towels. Set them aside as they will serve as the taco shells.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 5
Add the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the ground turkey evenly with the spices, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the diced tomato.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, take a butter lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of the ground turkey mixture.
Step 8
Top each taco with slices of avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Repeat for the remaining lettuce leaves and serve immediately.
