Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean, 93/7)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) No-salt-added diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 4 pieces Low sodium whole wheat tortillas
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Low sodium shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper softens.
Add the low sodium black beans, no-salt-added diced tomatoes with green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then simmer for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, spoon the turkey mixture onto each tortilla, about 1/4 of the mixture per tortilla.
Top with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of low sodium shredded cheese if using.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately.
