Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 6 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 large Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it up with a spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey evenly with the spices.
Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, or wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
Lay each tortilla flat and add a portion of the cooked turkey mixture down the center.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
