Ingredients:

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 large green pepper, diced
• 1 lb. lean ground turkey
• ½ tbsp. cumin
• ½ tbsp. coriander
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• ½ tbsp. smoked paprika
• 10 oz. can low-sodium petite diced tomatoes, drained
• 10 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• (Optional) 2 oz. green chiles, in whatever heat intensity you like

• ½ c. 2% shredded cheddar cheese

Topping (all optional):

• Salsa
• Unflavored Greek yogurt, for topping

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Set a large skillet over medium flame and allow it to get hot before spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
• Sauté onion, green pepper and garlic 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add ground turkey, breaking up meat and mixing in vegetables, until browned.
• Add spices, tomatoes, black beans, and chiles and drop the heat down to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Working on a flat surface, lay out tortilla. Place a heaping ½ cup of the meat/veggie mixture in the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla by folding the top and bottom over the meat mixture, then rolling into a burrito shape.
• Place each burrito side-by-side in a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. Spray the top of the burritos with nonstick cooking spray before covering with aluminum foil. Bake 25 minutes.
• Add shredded cheese then bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted as desired.
