Turkey Burritos

"This is from Cooking Light, with some minor modifications. Easy recipe for a busy weeknight, and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. Hope you enjoy! Edited to add: I make this probably once a week, and just wanted to note that I use A LOT more salsa than the recipe calls for--probably about a half cup or more. :)"

• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1⁄2 cup chopped onion

directions

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
2. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
3. Add ground turkey breast and cook mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the turkey is browned, stirring to crumble.
4. Stir in the water and the next 5 ingredients (water through chiles).
5. Cover and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.
6. Warm flour tortillas by placing on a heated nonstick skillet for 10-15 seconds per side.
7. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons cheese down the center of each tortilla.

Awesome blend of ingredients and a great low fat burrito for shedding winter pounds, not to mention a great OAMC stand-by! Thanks for sharing!

The recipe tasted great, especially when I followed the suggestion of adding 1/2 cup of salsa.
