Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken or turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 6 large leaves Lettuce leaves (for wrapping, e.g., butter lettuce or romaine)
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 medium Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink.
Mix in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
Pour in the coconut aminos and cook for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves to use as wraps.
To assemble, spoon the spicy chicken and cauliflower mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, jalapeño slices (if using), and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
