Turkey and Bean Burritos

Submitted by Cactus Arm

"This is one of my favorite recipes. It comes from Prevention's "The Healthy Cook" Cookbook. By the taste you would never know this recipe is a "good for you" recipe. Makes a chili like burrito filling with melted cheese, wrapped by a crunchy on the edges flour tortilla. This recipe makes some leftovers. This is a good take along lunch too."

This is also great using ground chicken. I made this without the salt and tomato sauce and added about 1 tb. of cumin. I also used whole wheat tortillas.
