Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

Prepare the Turkey Filling: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step
12 mins

Simmer the Mixture: Stir in the thawed corn, rinsed and drained black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and taco seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until heated through and the flavors have melded (about 10-12 minutes).

03

Step
5 mins

Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Spoon the turkey and bean mixture into each lettuce leaf.

04

Step
1 mins

Serve Immediately: Garnish with your favorite taco toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the turkey mixture.
Ensure the lettuce leaves are completely dry to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.
To make this recipe even faster, use pre-cooked ground turkey.
Experiment with different toppings to customize your lettuce wraps. Consider adding chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with crumbled tofu or cooked lentils.

    The homemade taco seasoning really takes this recipe to the next level. I'll never buy the pre-packaged stuff again!

    I found that using butter lettuce instead of romaine was even better! The leaves were softer and more pliable.
