Tired of Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey? These burritos are packed with flavor and not the same old turkey. A great change from the old standards. The great thing is, you can change or adjust the seasonings to your own taste. I like it spicy!

TURKEY AND BEAN BURRITOS



Turkey and Bean Burritos image

This is one of my favorite recipes. It comes from Prevention's "The Healthy Cook" Cookbook. By the taste you would never know this recipe is a "good for you" recipe. Makes a chili like burrito filling with melted cheese, wrapped by a crunchy on the edges flour tortilla. This recipe makes some leftovers. This is a good take along lunch too.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for black beans and pinto beans, but you can use any type of bean you like. Some other good options include kidney beans, navy beans, and Great Northern beans.
  • Roast the tomatillos. Roasting the tomatillos gives them a smoky, slightly sweet flavor that really enhances the burritos. If you don't have time to roast them, you can also use canned tomatillos.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and oregano, add a ton of flavor to the burritos. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overfill the burritos. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and they will fall apart when you eat them. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per burrito.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

These Turkey Tomatillo and Bean Burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are packed with protein and fiber, and they are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they are customizable, so you can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.
