Clean Eating Lettuce Wrapped Burritos
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!
