The Spicy Turkey Avocado Lettuce Wrap has a rich history dating back to the health-conscious food movement of the 1980s. Renowned chefs in California, such as Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck, popularized the use of lettuce wraps as a low-carb alternative to traditional bread. This innovative twist on the classic sandwich quickly gained popularity in health-focused restaurants across the state. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in trendy eateries in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the quality of the turkey, the spiciness of the sauce, and the ripeness of the avocado. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate a tangy cilantro-lime dressing to elevate the flavors.
