Turkey (Or Chicken) Burrito

"This is great for turkey (or chicken) leftovers. I made it low sodium by using low sodium taco seasoning mix. Low fat using fat free beans, low fat sour cream, and reduced fat cheese. Whole wheat flour tortilla shells made the fiber a little higher."

directions

  • Brown the onion, until clear.
  • Add the garlic, pepper & jalapeño.
  • Add the chopped turkey, jalapeño juice, cumin, seasoning mix and water.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until nearly all the water is gone, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the refried beans on low heat (in a separate pan).
  • Warm the tortillas by layering 1 damp paper towel on a plate, then 1 tortilla then another damp paper towel on top, layer only as many as you'll eat in the 1st serving, then heat more as you're ready for them.
  • Take one tortilla shell, add beans, turkey mix, cheese, sour cream and salsa - all to taste.
  • Fold up the bottom couple of inches, fold over one side, then roll it up and enjoy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love my family, but culinary artists they are not. I'm beginning my "schooling" in the school of hard knocks - by way of the rolling pin! I have a few dishes I've mastered, but am looking to broaden my horizons greatly. I'm not one of those folks who look in the fridge, see a bottle of ketchup, take it out and make the best 4 course meal you've ever had - including dessert. I look in the fridge and call the pizza place! I'm hoping with more experience I can eventually make a couple of dishes.
