Low-Point Wet Burritos
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
Optional toppings: diced avocado, salsa, chopped cilantro, plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions:
Cook Meat and Vegetables:
In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey or chicken over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add Beans and Corn:
Stir in the black beans and thawed corn kernels, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Season and Simmer:
Sprinkle the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the meat and vegetable mixture. Pour in the enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble Burritos:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a portion of the meat and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with a portion of the reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side down in a baking dish.
Bake:
Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the burritos. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Remove the burritos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the low-point wet burritos hot, garnished with optional toppings such as diced avocado, salsa, chopped cilantro, and plain non-fat Greek yogurt.
