Paleo Turkey and Avocado Lettuce Wraps
Alright, so there’s technically no turkey in this vegan glow-up, but who needs it when chickpeas do the job in heels? We’re talking creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, and bold flavor that hits harder than your ex’s texts at 2 AM. These wraps are Paleo, plant-powered, and ready faster than you can say “takeout who?” They’re light, fresh, and won’t leave you feeling like a stuffed potato. Plus, they’re meal-prep friendly in case your life is chaos (same, girl). So grab your lettuce, channel your inner goddess, and wrap up something fierce.
