Skinnygirl Turkey, Hummus & Lettuce “Tacos”

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Skinnygirl. I received a product sample and a promotional item to facilitate my review.

Skinny Girl Turkey, Hummus & Lettuce "Tacos"

I’ll admit I’m a sucker for Pinterest styled recipes. These are your every day recipes with some easy twist, that you stumble across on Pinterest, while thinking “why didn’t I think of that?”. My lettuce “tacos”, are inspired by these low-carb shredded chicken tacos I found on one of my late-night Pinterest browsing. I do love me some tortillas, but using Romaine Lettuce leaves certainly is a lower carb & calorie option.

I was excited to hear that Skinnygirl, best known for delicious low-calorie cocktails, has recently expanded its portfolio to include non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, and microwave popcorn. Deciding to expand the brand into fresh, party-ready dips was a no-brainer for Skinnygirl creator, Bethenny Frankel. “Everyone loves indulgent snacking while enjoying a cocktail, and with these dips there’s no need to feel guilty. Each flavor is more delicious than the next. It’s hard to believe they’re low calorie! I love using them in recipes too!”.

For this recipe I’m using Skinnygirl Hummus in Roasted Red Pepper. Skinnygirl Hummus is made with non-fat Greek yogurt, is reduced calorie, all-natural, gluten-free and kosher. If you aren’t a fan of Roasted Pepper, Skinnygirl also comes in Classic, Cilantro Jalapeno, and Roasted Garlic. (I’m thinking I’ll try the Cilantro Jalapeno next!)

I wanted to keep my first try at lettuce tacos simple, so we just used turkey meat we had on hand, several pieces of romaine lettuce, and an entire carrot (shredded with a vegetable peeler). The hummus as the base in the lettuce, helps hold everything in place really well. You can add as much or as little as you like to get the flavor balance that fits your preferences.

What I like most about these lettuce tacos, is how easy they are to make. We put together enough tacos for two of us in less than 20 minutes. If you’re the step-by-step type here’s a recipe for ya. But keep in mind, you should have fun with yours and add your favorite fillers with the hummus.

I opted to serve my turkey “tacos” with a side of chopped up squash to dip into extra Skinnygirl Hummus.

With the greek yogurt base, Skinnygirl Hummus has a lighter taste and texture than some of the other brands I’ve tried.
