Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 cups Hatch green chilies, roasted and diced (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup mixed greens or fresh spinach

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    - Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a bit of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and thoroughly cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

      - To the skillet, stir in the diced Hatch green chilies, ground cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chilies to heat through. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the mixture aside.

        Assemble the Wrap Pockets:

          - On a clean, flat surface, lay out each tortilla. In the center of each tortilla, start with a small handful of mixed greens, then add about 1/4 of the turkey and chili mixture.

            - Next, layer on the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and avocado slices to your liking, creating a delicious rainbow of flavors.

              Wrap It Up:

                - To form the wrap pocket, fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to encase all the fillings securely.

                  - For easier handling, you can secure each wrap with toothpicks or wrap them in parchment paper.

                    Grill or Toast:

                      - Return the skillet to the heat (or preheat a grill) and add a touch more olive oil if needed. Place the wrap pockets seam-side down in the skillet. Grill on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.

                        Serve:

                          - Once grilled, remove the wrap pockets from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately with a generous dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping, and enjoy the delightful explosion of flavors!
