Ingredients
- Ground turkey
- 1 pound
- Pinto beans
- 1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
- Onion
- 1 medium, diced
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
- Flour tortillas
- 4 large
- Shredded cheese
- 1 cup (cheddar or mexican blend)
- Sour cream
- 1/2 cup
- Salsa
- 1/2 cup
- Avocado
- 1, sliced
- Lime
- 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the turkey and onion mixture with the spices.
- Add the drained and rinsed pinto beans to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
- While the filling is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds until pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, place a generous scoop of the turkey and bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and avocado slices. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito, ensuring the fillings are secured inside.
- Serve the burritos warm with extra lime wedges and your favorite sides, such as rice or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey with ground chicken, beef, or a plant-based meat alternative for a different flavor profile.
- Add additional vegetables to the filling, such as bell peppers or corn, for extra nutrition and color.
