Cilantro Turkey Burritos
- 1 whole Bell Pepper (any Color), Chopped
- 1 whole Large Onion, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 1 pound Ground Turkey Breast
- 2 cups Salsa (Use A Jarred Salsa), Divided
- 1 bunch Cilantro, Chopped
- 8 whole Tortillas (burrito Sized)
- 1 can (16 Oz. Can) Refried Beans (Homemade If You Like, But They Have To Be Refried)
- 1 package (16 Oz. Package) Grated Cheddar Cheese
- Add bell peppers and onion to a large skillet and soften over a medium heat.
- If it suits your style, you can add a tablespoon of oil, too.
- I didnt.
- Once the peppers and onions are beginning to soften, that means theyre at the tender/crisp stage; add the cumin.
- Coat the veggies by stirring, then add the turkey.
- Using your spatula, spoon, fork, whatever, break the turkey into smaller chunks as it cooks.
- Ground turkey is easy to cook because it turns white when its done.
- When most of the pink is gone, stir in 1 cup of the jarred salsa.
- Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
- Cover and reduce heat to low for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, back on the ranch, preheat the oven to 350F.
- Now set up a little burrito-making station for yourself.
- By station I mean just have the remaining ingredients close at hand.
- Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of refried beans.
- The beans are important because they keep the burritos from unwrapping.
- Put about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the turkey mixture in the center of each bean spread tortilla.
- How much you put depends on the size of the tortillas.
- Sprinkle a little cheese inside before rolling up the burritos.
- The next part is purely choice.
- You can put them in the oven to just keep warm (at 300F) or go my route and make them into a burrito casserole (at 350F).
- For the casserole route, lay the burritos side by side in a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
- Drizzle the remaining cup of salsa over them.
- Dont worry if the salsa doesnt cover each burrito completely.
- It wont.
- And thats fine because the parts of tortilla still showing will get nice and crisp.
- Sprinkle the rest of your cheese over the whole thing.
- Pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
