Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 300 grams Lean ground turkey
- 200 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Red onion, diced
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, diced
- 400 grams Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Brown rice, cooked
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the same skillet. Cook until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Return the cooked turkey to the skillet. Add the diced red bell pepper, black beans, and cooked brown rice. Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.
Heat the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and spoon some of the warm filling onto the center. Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll from the bottom to encase the filling completely.
Serve each burrito with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of fresh flavor.
