Have you had the idea of substituting lettuce instead of a bun for a hamburger? Some dining establishments have done it for years. But what about using a taco or wrap?
In the recipe, we get a chance to try a lettuce wrap. That means, no corn or flour tortilla to hold all the melted cheese, lime crema and seasoned ground turkey. For those of you on a low-carb diet, this is a quick and delicious dish to keep handy.
¡Buen provecho!

Cooking Tidbit: The original recipe called for pork. Instead, I substituted that with lean ground turkey. You may also try plant-based alternative meat as well.
