Turkey Burritos
The filling for this recipe can be stuffed into a burrito, as it is here, or spooned into crispy taco shells. Either way, it's delicious. When served with Spanish rice, it's an easy fun dinner.

This was everything it was rated to be, fast, easy and low cal. I used jalapenos instead of green chiles and pepperjack instead of the blend...added some nice fire to it. Served with black beans and green salad, perfect meal. My husband raved about it and went for seconds. This will go into our rotation of fast meals for sure.01/06/10

Even my teenage boys like this one, and one of my favorites. I'll freeze a batch by the half cupfuls in baggies and pull them out as needed for a quick, hot homemade lunch. I serve this with non fat refried or black beans and Lo-Carb Tam-x-ico wheat tortillas. I'll try the added spinach next time as suggested by another user.10/08/09
