Turkey-black bean burritos

"A departure from typical leftover turkey dishes, this high-fiber burrito bake gives us our Tex-Mex fix without too much fat. You can also use a 10-tortilla package and reduce turkey by 1/2 cup to make 5 servings. I created this version as part of a high-fiber regimen to lower cholesterol."

  1. Was a great way to use up the leftover turkey from thanksgiving! Very tasty, I used peach salsa, Franks hot sauce, a little Johnny's seasoning salt, threw in some diced jalapenos to give it a extra kick, and doubled the garlic because my family are garlic fiends and it came out perfect!
     
  2. This is a wonderful recipe. We used it for our Once A Month Cooking group, and everyone raved about it. We made the filling, and froze it separately from the tortillas. Then, when prepared at home, we gave instruction on warming it in the crock pot. It worked great.

I'm a novelist and cookbook author. My CHEF CHERI'S HASTY, TASTY MEALS offers high fiber, low carb, low fat, low sodium recipes featuring the microwave oven and pressure cooker. The emphasis is speedy healthy cooking with a minimum of convenience foods. I am NOT a dieter. Its follow-up, HASTY TASTY MEALS IN THE RV, takes a few liberties to adjust healthful cooking to the tiny RV-size kitchen.
