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 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 olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).

    Season the Mixture: Stir in the diced Hatch green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Incorporate the black beans and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Combine Ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice, chopped spinach, shredded cheese, and cilantro until well combined. The residual heat will slightly wilt the spinach and melt the cheese.

        Assemble the Wraps: Place a generous scoop of the turkey rice mixture in the center of each tortilla or lettuce wrap. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, burrito-style.

          Optional - Toast the Wraps: If desired, place the wraps seam-side down on a hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

            Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve with optional toppings like avocado slices, sour cream, or salsa for added flavor.
