Ingredients for 2 servings

  • Meat Mix
    • 1 celery stalk, chopped
    • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
    • 1/2 (white) onion, sliced
    • 1/2lb 93% lean ground turkey (or 3/8 lb if using cooked)
    • 5 tablespoons pimientos (plus juice)
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon fennel (or sage)
  • Sauce
    • 3 tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise (made from oil)
    • 1 tablespoon horseradish
    • 1 tablespoon capers
    • 1 teaspoon dried dill
    • 1/2 medium pickle, finely diced
    • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
    • Tablespoons of water may be added for consistency
  • 1 cup shredded romaine (or leafy green of choice)
  • Two 8-inch tortillas

Steps

Step 1

Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

Step 2

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat.  Once hot, lightly spray with avocado oil then add the celery, onion and bell pepper.  Cook for 3 – 5 minutes until the veggies are softer with dark edges.

Step 3

Add the cooked turkey, and to rehydrate it add pimientos, smoked paprika, and the rest of the herbs.

Step 4

Warm a tortilla in the microwave for 30 seconds to help soften it.

 

Step 5

Add the turkey and veggies mix, and pour in the sauce and top with romaine.

Step 6

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high.  Once hot, spray with oil then toast in the skillet on all sides of the burrito to make it crispy and seal it closed.

Enjoy!
