Description

Delicious high protein, low calorie burritos perfect for meal prep, loaded with cheese and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup low-fat cheese
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced
  • 2 tablespoons corn (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Butter or cooking spray for cooking

Instructions

  1. Cook ground turkey in a skillet with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning until browned, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add black beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet and mix until heated through.
  3. Prepare tortillas by laying one flat, adding a quarter of the filling to the center, and topping with Greek yogurt and cheese.
  4. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the edges.
  5. In the same skillet, add a bit of butter or cooking spray and place the burrito seam side down.
  6. Add more cheese on top and press the burrito into it, cooking until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes each.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining tortillas.
  8. Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers.

Notes

Great for meal prep; these burritos freeze well and reheat nicely without getting soggy.
