GROUND TURKEY BURRITOS THAT WILL FOOL YOUR KIDS



Ground Turkey Burritos That Will Fool Your Kids image

Great burritos that your kids will eat and ask for more. Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to a lot of evening swim meets and our kids love them. If we told them what was inside they would say Eww! Without cheese, this is a lighter dinner alternative on the go.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

water to cover
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 head red cabbage
¼ cup olive oil
½ red onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
sea salt to taste
1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
12 (10 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Cut off the stem of the red cabbage. Peel leaves off gently, being careful not to tear. Place individual leaves gently into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until tender but still crunchy and red, 8 to 10 minutes more. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in turkey meat and season with salt. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cooked rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each tortilla. Fill with the turkey-rice mixture. Fold the bottom end up and roll into a tight burrito.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add burritos in batches; cook, flipping as necessary, until outsides are crunchy, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time, cook the ground turkey in bulk and store it in the freezer. This way, you can easily make burritos whenever you want.
  • If you don't have any salsa on hand, you can use diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, or even ketchup.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings and fillings. Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and black beans.
  • To make your burritos even more flavorful, try marinating the ground turkey before cooking.
  • If you're looking for a healthier option, you can use whole-wheat tortillas or even lettuce wraps instead of regular tortillas.

Conclusion:

Ground turkey burritos are a delicious, versatile, and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for busy weeknights. With a variety of toppings and fillings to choose from, there's a burrito recipe out there for everyone.
