- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon.
- Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Cook for another 2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
- To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a quarter of the turkey and bean mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve the wraps with sour cream and salsa on the side. Enjoy!
