Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, zucchini, and garlic, sautéing until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned. Add the sage, chili pepper, frozen green peas, cooked brown rice, and salsa to the skillet, mixing everything together. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the mixture is well combined. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool slightly. -
Assemble the Tortillas
Lay out the 8 tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to form burrito-style wraps. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in a greased oven-proof baking dish. -
Bake the Tortillas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the tortillas are assembled in the dish, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the wraps. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. -
Serve and Garnish
Remove the baked tortillas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve with a side of salsa and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and freshness. Enjoy your delicious turkey-filled tortillas!
Additional Tips:
- For an extra kick, feel free to add more chili pepper or even a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can use whole wheat tortillas or gluten-free alternatives.
- Add some avocado slices or a fresh salad on the side to make the meal even more satisfying.
