Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Break meat apart and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: While turkey cooks, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tbsp lime juice in a small bowl until smooth and tangy.
  3. Step 3: Warm 4 large whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds until flexible.
  4. Step 4: To assemble, lay 2 green leaf lettuce leaves on each tortilla. Distribute the cooked spiced turkey evenly over the lettuce. Add slices from 1 medium ripe avocado evenly over the turkey.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 2 tbsp cilantro lime yogurt across each wrap, then roll tightly. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately or wrap for lunchbox packing.
