Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
- 1.5 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the shredded turkey, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until the turkey is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 2
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned turkey. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is warmed through and lightly browned.
Step 3
Lay out the flour tortillas on a working surface. Evenly distribute the cooked turkey, rice, black beans, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream down the center of each tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the fillings in each burrito.
Step 5
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form burritos.
Step 6
Optional: To crisp up the burritos, heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 7
Serve immediately with additional salsa or sour cream on the side, if desired.
