Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 12 butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup salsa
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, drained
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Separate lettuce leaves, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Wet lettuce makes the filling slide out.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook 5–6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.
  3. Stir in chipotle powder, cumin, tomato paste, and salt. Cook 1 minute to toast the spices, then add salsa and simmer 2–3 minutes until saucy.
  4. Warm corn and black beans in the skillet with the turkey for 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt or spice.
  5. Spoon turkey filling into lettuce leaves and top with avocado and lime juice. Double up leaves for sturdier wraps.
