Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos

I love tacos. I love tacos wrapped in corn tortillas. I love tacos wrapped in flour tortillas. My new taco love is tacos wrapped in Romaine lettuce leaves. I saw a recipe on Kalyn's Kitchen for
tacos wrapped in lettuce and they looked so good I had to make them, changing the recipe to suit my taste. Kalyn loves cilantro;
I don't. Her recipe called for 1-1/4 cups of chopped cilantro. Not happening in my kitchen.

I rolled them after I took the picture because if I took the picture after I rolled them, all you would see is round packages of Romaine lettuce.

Here's my recipe for Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 T. dried minced garlic
• 1 T. chili powder
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
• 2 T. lime juice
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce, washed and root ends trimmed
• 1 tomato, chopped
• Guacamole

Heat a deep, 12-inch chef's saute pan over medium heat. Add the turkey, onion, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring, until the turkey is brown and the onion is limp.

Add the green chilies to the turkey mixture in the pan, stir to mix them in, then let cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While this is cooking, prepare the guacamole.

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the lime juice.

Spoon equal amounts of the turkey mixture into the center of
the Romaine lettuce leaves. Top with chopped tomatoes and guacamole.

Wrap and enjoy. You can also serve this in a corn or flour tortilla (which I did with the leftovers), but a lettuce wrap makes a nice change and the crunch is good.

These were really good, but a bit mild. The only thing I'd do different is to add more chili powder and cumin. Lots more chili powder and cumin, maybe even some chipotle powder or crushed red pepper flakes.
