Turkey Tacos + Lettuce Wraps recipe.

One of the tastiest things I've had yet on my diet.
Dawn suggested I try doing tacos with lettuce wraps, and these are what we came up with.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce (to make wraps - any lettuce would do)
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • Nonfat sour cream
  • Cholula hot sauce (or another of choice)

Home-made taco seasoning: Blend these together:
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking 'ems:

1. Use a tiny amount of oil in skillet, and cook the onions until clear. Set aside in bowl when done.
2. Cook the ground turkey in a skillet.
3. Add taco seasoning when turkey is cooked - don't drain first. It's just water, anyways, really.
4. Simmer for a minute or so.
5. Lay out lettuce cups (use 2 layers, it can be messy).  Add a bit of fat-free sour cream, some of the sauteed onions, and a sprinkling of chopped tomato.  Put 3 generous spoonfuls of the seasoned turkey on, finish with a dash of the Cholula (or whatever hot sauce you like)

Eat with several napkins standing by, as they can leak.

Mmmm.
