Recipe: Easy Cheesy Burrito Skillet
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Serving size: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 (15-ounce) can reduced-sodium red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1 cup water
- 3 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
- ¾ cup reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil and onion, cooking the onion for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- When the meat is fully cooked, add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and paprika, stirring it all together with the meat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the beans, salsa, and water, stirring everything together and cooking at a low simmer for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the tortilla strips, making sure to push them around in the pan so they are coated and soft, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cheese over the top. Let stand for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Top with optional avocado, tomatoes, yogurt or sour cream, and green onions as desired.
