Step 2: Add the salsa, can of green chiles and taco seasoning, stir well together and let simmer a few minutes. *You don’t need to add water along with the taco seasoning.

Step 3: Now, add the can of drained corn and the can of drained and rinsed black beans to the ground turkey mixture. Mix well and let simmer a few minutes to heat the corn and beans.

Step 5: Scoop some of the meat mixture into the Romaine lettuce leaves and add any extra toppings. Fold up like a taco or burrito. The lettuce leaf will sorta mimic a boat.

*Note: You can also use Iceberg, Bibb or Butterhead lettuce as a wrap.
