Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Using a large skillet over medium heat, begin browning the ground turkey. Mix seasonings in a small bowl, add to ground turkey and stir to combine. Continue to break apart the turkey as it cooks into a crumble.
  • Meanwhile, prep veggies by dicing or slicing peppers, peeling and grating carrots, lightly chopping spinach and grating cheese. Keeping separate, set aside.
  • Once turkey is no longer pink, fill tortillas and add toppings.
