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.
