Directions
1Combine the ketchup, chipotle pepper, paprika, onion powder, and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
2Combine the turkey, cilantro, oats, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl, taking care not to over-mix. (Working with meat too much will make it tough.)
3Form into four 1/2"-thick patties.
4Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 175F in the thickest part.
5Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Working with one at a time, heat the tortillas on both sides, about 45 seconds per tortilla.
6Lay the tortillas on a work surface and top each one with 1/4 of the spinach, avocado, and tomato slices. Follow by a patty and 2 tablespoons of chipotle ketchup.
7Fold the wraps around the burgers and serve immediately.
