Burrito, healthy style!
There are ways to eat your favorite foods, they just need a little tweaking!
Whole wheat flour tortillas
ground turkey
taco seasoning
cheese of your choice (use mozzarella for a less-fat option-tastes surprisingly good!)
green cabbage, cut thinly
diced tomatoes, salsa, or pico de gallo
Reduced fat or fat-free sour cream
*Favorite hot sauce
Cook the ground turkey like you would ground beef, and add the taco season as directed on the package, then assemble like you would any burrito!
Use a little less meat and a little less cheese, and pile on the veggies! Using cabbage gives it the crunch like lettuce does, but has a lot more fiber and fills you up better than lettuce would.
If you want to omit the meat altogether and make a veggie burrito, add in some black beans-they contain the protein you'd be missing from meat, and also have extra fiber...yeah for fiber!
*my favorite is the hot sauce pictured.
