Turkey & Veggie Burritos
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 lb of lean ground turkey1 can of black beans, drained1 medium to large onion1 package taco seasoning1 to 1 1/2 cup chopped broccoli1 to 1 1/2 cup chopped eggplant1 to 1 1/2 cup chopped zucchini1 cup chopped or diced bell pepper (green, red, or yellow...your choice, I prefer red!)1.5 cups Kraft 2% shredded cheddar cheese6 La Tortilla Factory- low carb tortillas*Remember guys...lots of room for substitution, additions, and subtractions!*
Chop all vegetables to small chunks, while you want it to be hearty and chunky...you dont want it to be a chore to eat!
Brown turkey, a way to avoid using oils or sprays is to add a few table spoons of water to the turkey to prevent sticking to the pan (as it has low fat content) If the turkey is extra lean, I will even put in the taco seasoning with a third of the water since no fat drainage will be needed.
Once the meat is browned, toss in your veggies and beans, the rest of the water specified from the package (I usually use a little less so its not runny. In fact, if not using package and doing your own seasoning, I would start with 1/2 cup water and see how much liquid is released from your veggies before adding more)
Cook on medium low heat for about 10 minutes.
Heat your tortillas by placing damn paper towels in between each tortilla and microwaving for 30 seconds on each side (if doing 4 or more tortillas).
Spoon about 1/2 cup of mixture onto each tortilla, add 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, and either roll tortilla into a burrito or fold like a soft taco. To stretch out the meal and add more veggies, some chopped romaine lettuce can be added for texture.
ENJOY!
