1 1/4 pounds fresh turkey breast fillets
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
4 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Char corn in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
