Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 225ðF (107ðC). Wrap tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm while preparing the filling.
  2. Wash and dry lettuce leaves; set aside.
  3. Halve bell peppers, remove seeds and membranes, and slice into thin strips.
  4. In a small bowl, mix chili powder and dried oregano. Pat turkey cutlets dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
  5. Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add bell pepper strips to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and crispy-tender. Remove peppers to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
  7. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the same skillet.
  8. Add turkey cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes, turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center when tested with a knife.
  9. Remove turkey from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice turkey crosswise into narrow strips.
  10. Remove warm tortillas from the oven. Top each tortilla with a lettuce leaf, then arrange turkey and bell pepper strips down the center. Serve immediately.
