Turkey Lettuce Wrap Taco

Yum!  I am a huge lover of tacos.... and this recipe makes my taco night a little healthier.




Ingredients

1 lb         Lean ground turkey, chicken, or beef (ground chicken is my favorite!)
1 cup      Salsa (pineapple or mango salsa would be yummy)
1 (4 oz)   Green chilies
1/2 tbs    Taco seasoning (or seasonings of your choice)

Toppings:
1 (15 oz) can Corn, drained

1 (15 oz) can Black beans, rinsed and drained
1   Head lettuce OR 6 low carb tortillas

Optional: Low fat plain greek yogurt or low fat sour cream, additional salsa for serving, corn, black beans, sliced olives


Directions

Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add turkey meat, salsa, green chiles, and taco seasoning to skillet, and turn on heat to medium high.  Stir everything to combine, breaking up turkey as best as possible while cooking. Cook for 8-12 minutes, or until turkey is completely browned, and cooked through, (no longer pink). Take off heat. Add beans and corn and stir to combine.

To make the lettuce wraps, Cut off the stem (or base) of the lettuce head, and cut in half long ways. Peel off individual leaves, and wash and pat dry.  Scoop 1/2 cup meat into lettuce wraps and and top with low fat plain greek yogurt or low fat sour cream, additional salsa, and olives if desired.
