Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups fresh Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped (or 1 cup canned)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lime juice

Sliced avocado and fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Turkey Filling:

- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cook the Turkey:

- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula until it's browned and fully cooked, approximately 7-10 minutes.

Add the Chiles and Spices:

- Stir in the chopped Hatch green chiles, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine, and let everything cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Prepare the Wraps:

- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

- Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface and evenly distribute the cooked turkey mixture onto the center of each.

Add Toppings:

- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture and add a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves.

Roll the Wraps:

- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to encase the filling. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling.

Serve with Garnishes:

- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and add sliced avocado and fresh cilantro on the side as optional garnishes. Drizzle with the lime sour cream dressing for an extra kick.

Enjoy your Spicy Hatch Chili Turkey Wraps as a flavorful meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner!
