  1. To make the filling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes. Add beans, garlic, and chili powder; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, warm tortillas according to package directions.
  3. Place tortillas on work surface; spoon one-fourthof filling along center. Top with 2 tablespoons salsa and 1 tablespoon cheddar; sprinkle with one-fourth of scallions. Fold sides of  tortilla over to enclose filling. Place, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining tortillas, filling, salsa, cheese, and scallions.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. If you're having a craving for Mexican food, do not go to the local fast food joint or restaurant. You can make these tasty treats at home in 20 minutes or less. Turkey burritos taste just as good as beef burritos. Also, when you make your own salsa, you have your healthy serving of vegetables and you know what's in the salsa. If you don't have pinto beans on hand, use black beans and the burritos will be just as good. Don't forget to season your turkey with salt and ground pepper. Nobody wants to eat bland food.
