Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1/2 cup Hatch green chiles, diced (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or lettuce wraps

Optional toppings: Avocado slices, sour cream, or salsa

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart using a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring there are no pink spots remaining.

    Season the Mixture: Add the diced Hatch green chiles to the skillet along with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Next, fold in the black beans and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

      Combine Ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the cooked jasmine rice, chopped spinach, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and cilantro. Mix until everything is well combined; the residual heat will gently wilt the spinach and melt the cheese.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas or lettuce wraps. Place a generous scoop of the turkey and rice mixture in the center of each wrap. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, burrito-style, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.

          Optional - Toast the Wraps: For an extra crispy texture, place the assembled wraps seam-side down on a hot skillet. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Cut each wrap in half and arrange on a serving platter. Enhance with optional toppings such as avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of salsa to elevate the taste profile.
