Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortilla
- 200 grams lean ground turkey
- 200 grams lean ground beef
- 200 grams black beans, canned, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, low sodium
- 100 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 100 grams low-fat shredded cheese
- 100 grams lettuce, shredded
- 4 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey and lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, and then stir in the low sodium taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until well coated.
Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to marry.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat and add an equal portion of the meat and bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of low-fat shredded cheese, a tablespoon of non-fat Greek yogurt, some shredded lettuce, and a tablespoon of salsa.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up tightly into a burrito.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat meatlover burrito!
