Southwest Chicken Wraps

This isn't quite as good as the chicken wraps at PF Chang's China Bistro, but this recipe is DELISH!

2 tsp. olive oil

1 lb ground turkey or ground chicken breast meat

1 med red pepper, chopped

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

salt

1 C mild salsa

1 15 oz. can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Boston lettuce leaves

1/2 C plain nonfat yogurt or Greek yogurt

In a 12 in skillet, heat olive oil on medium 1 minute. Add chicken or turkey meat, red pepper, chili powder, cumin, and 1/8 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat loses its pink color throughout. Stir in salsa and beans; cook 5 minutes to blend flavors and heat through.

Arrange lettuce leaves on dinner plates. Divide meat mixture evenly among lettuce leaf cups. Top each lettuce cup with a dollop of yogurt. Fold leaves over mixture and eat wraps out of hand.

NOTE: I couldn't find Boston lettuce at my local grocery story, so I just used regular Iceberg lettuce. I guess it wasn't strong enough because the wraps fell apart and were very messy. You definitely need the stronger Boston lettuce leaf to make this meal. Still tasty though.
