Outstanding

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.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 burrito)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1  pound  ground turkey breast
  • 1/2  cup  water
  • 3  tablespoons  bottled salsa
  • 2  teaspoons  dried oregano
  • 2  teaspoons  ground cumin
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  chili powder
  • 1  (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 6  (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1  cup  (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese

Preparation

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook for 3 minutes or until onion and garlic are tender, stirring frequently. Add ground turkey breast, and cook mixture for 10 minutes or until the turkey is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in the water and the next 5 ingredients (water through chopped green chiles). Cover mixture and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.

Warm flour tortillas according to the package directions. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons Mexican blend cheese down the center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup turkey mixture; roll up.

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
