I absolutely love love love Latin dishes.  It is the one thing I crave when I am pregnant and the only thing that satisfies when I am not.  The problem is it loves loves loves my thighs and backside.

  Nueva Cocina Foods is All Natural and offers Rice Mixes, Soup Mixes and Seasonings.   So if you like me and trying to get in shape or keep your shape, but miss home cooked spicy dishes, Nueva Cocina may just what we needed.  The following recipe uses lean turkey and lettuce.

Here is one of several recipes I am going to try:

PICADILLO TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS

Ingredients:

1 1.25oz. packet of  Nueva Cocina Picadillo Seasoning
