Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Lettuce Wrap on the menu? Try pairing with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The La Marca Prosecco with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

La Marca Prosecco

This sparkling wine is a pale, golden straw in color. Bubbles are full textured and persistent. On the nose the wine brings fresh citrus with hints of honey and white flowers. The flavor is fresh and clean, with ripe citrus, lemon, green apple, and touches of grapefruit, minerality, and some toast. The finish is light, refreshing, and crisp.Always serve La Marca Prosecco chilled between 46-50°F. A versatile Italian Sparkling wine, La Marca Prosecco can be served in sparkling flutes or white wine glasses. A full bottle serves approximately 5-7 glasses. After pouring the first round, seal the opened bottle with a bottle stopper to keep remaining wine fresh and effervescent and keep the wine chilled to 46-50°F. An opened bottle should last about 3-4 hours with the bottle closure.

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, over medium heat, add a few drizzles of olive oil, the sliced garlic, and the diced onions. Cook until softened. Stir in the 3 1/2 Tbsp of taco seasoning just to combine.
  2. Lower the heat to medium low. Add in the water and ground turkey and use a potato masher to break up the turkey. Stir occasionally to coat the turkey with the seasoning. Cook through completely.
  3. Place your meat into a bowl along with any toppings you want - we used shredded cheddar, diced avocado, and salsa.
  4. For the Spanish rice, boil the the rice until cooked through. Drain and return to the pot.
  5. In a large pan, over medium heat, add the water, tomato paste and a bit of ground black pepper.
  6. Stir until the tomato paste has blended completely.
  7. Stir in the peas & carrots, olives and oregano. Simmer on low for 5-6 minutes.
  8. Stir the rice into the pan and toss to coat the rice well. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  9. Assemble wraps and serve with Spanish rice.
