Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain tortillas
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cups Lettuce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook the turkey bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until well blended to make the dressing.
3. Dice the tomato and chop the green onions and cilantro. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and cube the flesh.
4. In a separate bowl, gently mix together the brown rice, black beans, diced tomato, green onions, cilantro, and avocado cubes. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss lightly to combine.
5. Warm the whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
6. To assemble each burrito, spread 2 tablespoons of the yogurt ranch dressing down the center of a tortilla.
7. Layer 2 slices of crispy turkey bacon, followed by 1/2 cup of the rice and bean mixture, and a handful of lettuce.
8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly starting from the bottom to enclose the filling.
9. Slice each burrito in half for easy serving and enjoy your heart-healthy, flavorful meal!
