Makes about 4 servings 

Ingredients:

• 8 large Iceberg lettuce leaves (from 1 head)
  
• 1 lb. ground turkey meat
  
• 1 Tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
  
• 2 bell peppers (red and green), diced
  
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  
• 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  
• 1/2 tsp paprika
  
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  
• 1 tsp oregano
  
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
  
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your taste
  
• 15-oz. black beans, drained and rinsed
  
• 1 cup corn, I used organic frozen corn
  
• 1/3 cup shredded cheese, optional
  
• a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  
• lime wedges, to serve

Instructions:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add onion, bell peppers and cook, about 3 minutes.

Stir in turkey meat, garlic and all seasonings. Cook, for about 6-7 minutes while stirring, or until cooked through.

Add black beans, corn, cheese and season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine.Lay 2 lettuce leaves side by side, overlapping slightly.

Place about 1/4 cupful turkey mixture in the leaves, then fold short sides of lettuce leaves in first, then roll into a cylinder, as shown — just like a burrito!

Repeat with remaining leaves and taco mixture. Cut in half and enjoy!
