- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper cut into strips
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground turkey meat
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Butter leaf lettuce rinsed and patted dry
- Cheese and other toppings
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium and sauté the onion until it begins to sweat and starts to become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and continue sautéing another 7 minutes before adding the garlic. Cook until bell pepper is tender but still al dente. If at any point, the veggies look like they’re drying out, add a couple of tablespoons of water or broth to help them steam.
Add the ground turkey meat along with all of the spices and salt. Stir and chop the meat into quarter-sized hunks. Continue stirring and cooking until meat is cooked all the way through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Prepare your lettuce wraps by spooning desired amount of fajita fixings on top of lettuce leaves. Add desired toppings, such as cheese, rice, beans, avocado, salsa or sour cream.
Wrap and enjoy!
