Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 large Low-carb tortillas
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the spices evenly with the turkey mixture.
Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle the chopped cilantro, stirring to distribute the flavors evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Warm the low-carb tortillas according to package instructions.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of sour cream in the center.
Add a generous scoop of the cooked turkey mixture, followed by slices of avocado, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb savory turkey burrito!
