Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos :)

So after seeing these Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos, I was very excited to try these out. My sister and I decided to make these when they came down to stay with Kyle and I. What better way to try new food than with your family?! Of course, they are nothing like P F Changs, but these were so good!



Like I said, actual pictures sometimes do not look that appetizing

 My sister is my witness that they look better than this :)

Ingredients for Tacos:

1 T olive oil

1 tsp. minced garlic
