Ingredients

  • Non-aerosol cooking spray
  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 (16-oz.) can fat-free refried beans
  • 2 3/4 cup salsa, divided
  • 1 (4-oz.) can diced green chilies, drained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 large whole wheat flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add ground turkey and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from pan; add beans, 1 3/4 cups of salsa, the chilis, chili powder and green onions. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes; stir in cheese. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in aluminum foil wrap and warm in oven for 10 minutes. Assemble chimichangas by spooning turkey mixture evenly onto each warm tortilla; fold in sides and roll up. Place chimichangas in prepared baking dish, seam side down; bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until tortillas are crisp and browned. Serve with remaining salsa and the sour cream.

SERVING SUGGESTION: A big salad of Romaine lettuce, sliced red onion, tomato and avocado.
VEGETARIAN: Use TVP crumbles and vegetarian refried beans.
