Hey parents!
Making and serving dinner can be tough after a long day at work so hopefully I've got something here to help you out. With today's trend in healthy eating, a lot of people are looking for something more on the leaner side. These "Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps" are a healthier alternative to regular tacos. Lettuce makes a great low-carb tortilla! And making your own taco seasoning is a healthier way to go compared store-bought taco seasoning! Top off your wraps with your favourite toppings like reduced fat cheese, light sour cream, tomatoes, or whatever you would like and...voila! Dinner is ready!
