Turkey and Hidden Bean Burritos

If refried beans just aren't your thing, try "hiding" them in ground turkey for a higher fiber burrito alternative. You could also of course skip the meat altogether and mix this up with two cans of refried beans.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground turkey or chicken (or beef of course)
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 green pepper diced
  • 1/2 red (or any color) pepper diced
  • 1 jalapeƱo - seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small can chopped green chiles
  • 1 can fat free refried beans
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • wheat tortilla shells

Directions

Brown meat with onion, peppers, garlic and jalapeno. When meat is no longer pink, drain and add 1/2 can refried beans, chiles, taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water. Stir constantly until warmed through and well combined (about 5 more minutes).

Serve in warm wheat tortillas (or taco shells or flour tortillas) with a little reduced fat cheese, reduced fat sour cream, lettuce, tomato - etc. I also suggest warming remaining beans in the microwave for 1 min. 30 seconds and spreading it on half of the tortilla before filling it.
