Tips & Variations

• Butter lettuce (Boston or Bibb) works best as it is tender yet sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing.
• For a Korean-inspired version, use ground turkey with ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil instead of taco spices.
• Add diced jicama or shredded cabbage for a crunchy textural contrast inside the wraps.
• The turkey filling keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days; assemble wraps fresh to keep lettuce crisp.
• Use romaine lettuce spears as an alternative to butter lettuce cups for a firmer, crunchier wrap.
