Ingredients

– 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely diced

Instructions

Creating Taco Lettuce Wraps is straightforward. Simply follow these steps:

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Onions: Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Brown the Meat: Add ground beef (or turkey/chicken) to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula.
5. Season the Meat: Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the meat is fully seasoned.
6. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: While the meat cooks, carefully separate lettuce leaves, washing and drying them.
7. Assemble Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the seasoned meat mixture into the center.
8. Add Toppings: Layer tomato halves, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
10. Optional Salsa: If desired, add salsa for an extra kick.
