Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 cup green chili peppers, chopped (choose mild or hot based on your spice preference)

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack for a kick)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional for serving)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the turkey is browned and cooked through.

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely diced onions and minced garlic. Continue to sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.

      Season: Incorporate the chopped green chili peppers along with the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.

        Prepare the Wraps: On a clean, flat surface, lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Evenly distribute the turkey and chili mixture in the center of each tortilla, ensuring to leave about an inch of space on the sides for folding.

          Add Toppings: Layer the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and your choice of shredded cheese over the turkey mixture.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Carefully roll from the bottom end upwards, creating a tight wrap. If needed, secure the wraps with toothpicks to hold them together.

              Pack into Boxes: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them in reusable or takeout boxes. Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top for a vibrant finish.

                Serve: If desired, include a small container of Greek yogurt or sour cream for dipping. Enjoy your Spicy Green Chili Turkey Wrap Boxes cold or if preferred, warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
