Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Whole wheat tortillas
- 8 ounces Lean ground turkey
- 8 ounces Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 1 cup Red kidney beans, canned and drained
- 1 cup Bell peppers, diced
- 0.5 cup Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 unit Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned.
Dice the skinless, boneless chicken breast and add to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes until fully cooked through.
Add bell peppers, kidney beans, and low-sodium taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir it well and turn off the heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds or grill lightly in a pan to make them more pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat and place a quarter of the turkey and chicken mixture in the center. Top with a few slices of avocado and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling and fold the tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides and rolling from one end to the other.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
