That's a Wrap!

Just when I thought our Monday night dinners couldn't get any tastier, me and my roomie hit the nail straight on the head with our delicious southwestern turkey lettuce wraps.  This low carb dinner was nutritious, delicious, and filling.  As you can see by the picture, they also looked beautiful!
