Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
- 1.5 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the shredded turkey, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until the turkey is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned turkey. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is warmed through and lightly browned.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a working surface. Evenly distribute the cooked turkey, rice, black beans, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream down the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the fillings in each burrito.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form burritos.
Optional: To crisp up the burritos, heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with additional salsa or sour cream on the side, if desired.
