- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, diced avocado, diced tomato, chopped red onion, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Take a warm tortilla and place a portion of the turkey mixture in the center, leaving some space on the edges.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve immediately with extra lime wedges or a side of salsa for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the turkey breast in lime juice, garlic, and spices before cooking.
- Feel free to customize your burrito by adding black beans, corn, or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- If you're looking for a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
