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!
