Carrot Burritos with Meat

Ingredients:
  • 8 flour tortillas (8" diameter)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ¾ cup chopped green pepper
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups chopped Roma tomatoes
  • ½ cup Bolthouse Farms Matchstix Carrots
  • ¼ cup carrot salsa (check out the Colorful Carrot Salsa recipe listed)
  • 3 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 8 romaine lettuce leaves
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:

Lightly coat skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add turkey, peppers and onions. Cook on medium heat, breaking up and stirring meat. Continue until turkey is thoroughly cooked and is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Stir carrots, carrot salsa, chili powder, cumin and 1 cup of the tomatoes in with the meat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover and continue to cook and stir until excess liquid is evaporated. Warm tortillas in microwave. (Cooking times may vary.) Slice lettuce leaves to fit into tortillas. Place a leaf onto center of warm tortilla and flatten. Spoon on 1/8th of the mixture over the leaf. Sprinkle some cheese and remaining tomatoes. Roll up and fold ends of tortilla to form burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Recipe also works great with tacos or taco salad with shredded lettuce. For lower fat recipes, use fat-free tortillas and low-fat cheese.
