Ingredients

For the lettuce wraps:
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1 pound ground turkey
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 bibb lettuce leaves
Optional toppings:
queso fresco, to taste, crumbled
avocado, to taste, diced
tomatoes, to taste, diced

Directions

Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil.

Step 2 -Add the turkey, the salt, and the pepper to the heated oil and cook, while crumbling, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes.

Step 3 -Transfer the cooked turkey to plate.

Step 4 -In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining oil, the red onions, and the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 8 minutes.

Step 5 -Add the chili powder, the cooked turkey, and the water to the onion-garlic mixture, then increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until most of the water is evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6 -Add the corn and the beans to the turkey mixture and cook until they are heated through and no liquid remains, about 3 minutes.

Step 7 -Season the turkey mixture with the salt and the pepper.

Step 8 -Evenly top the lettuce leaves with the turkey mixture.

Step 9 -Serve the wraps topped with the queso fresco, the diced avocado, and the tomatoes.
