Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 14.5 oz can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until bell pepper softens.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a quarter of the turkey mixture on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
