Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp. canola oil
  • 3/4 lb. ground skinless turkey breast

  • 8 tbsp. fat-free salsa
  • 4 tbsp. reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Makes 4 Servings (1 burrito per serving)
  1. To make filling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden 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 package directions. 
  3. Place tortilla on work surface; spoon one-fourth of 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.
