Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup Low-fat ranch dressing
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey bacon slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion and jalapeño if using.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of low-fat ranch dressing in the center of each tortilla.
Crumble two slices of turkey bacon and place them in the center over the dressing.
Top with half a cup of shredded lettuce, a quarter cup of diced tomatoes, a quarter cup of black beans, a couple of red onion slices, some cilantro leaves, and as much shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese as desired.
Add the optional jalapeño slices if you're using them for a spicy kick.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos immediately, garnished with lime wedges for squeezing over before eating.
