WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

TURKEY AND BEAN BURRITOS

8 8-inch flour (or your favorite low carb) tortillas

12-lz uncooked ground turkey

1 large onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 can (15-oz) black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup bottled salsa (watch sugar content)

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 cup (2-oz) shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded lettuce

Salsa, optional

Light sour cream with snipped fresh cilantro, optional

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Stack tortillas, wrap in foil. Heat in the oven for 10 minutes to soften.

Meanwhile, for the filling, in a large skillet cook turkey, onion, and garlic over medium heat until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in beans, the 1/2 cup salsa and chili powder. Heat through.

Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the filling mixture onto each tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon of cheese and 1 tablespoon lettuce. Fold bottom edge up and over filling, just until covered. Fold in sides, roll up tucking in sides.

Serve with additional salsa and sour cream with snipped fresh cilantro, if desired.
