Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (lean, at least 93% lean)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Small onion, chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cooked brown rice
• 6 medium-sized Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, and cook for another 3 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 3

Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Mix in the cooked brown rice, stirring well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture onto the center.

Step 8

Top with slices of avocado, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Serve the burritos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over each burrito.
