Ingredients

1 8oz skinless, boneless Ontario Turkey Breast, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp canola oil
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
6 large whole wheat flour tortillas
2 cups light Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup salsa, (optional)

Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and cook Turkey, stirring for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove to plate.
Return skillet to medium-high heat and cook pepper, onion and chili powder for about 3 minutes or until onions just begins to soften. Stir in Turkey, hot pepper sauce and pepper.
Divide Turkey mixture among half of each of the tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese and fold over uncovered half, pressing to help seal.
Wipe out skillet and place over medium heat and place folded tortilla in pan and cook, on both sides until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cut each into 4 wedges and serve with salsa, if desired.
