Low Fat Runza Burritos

veggieheadie

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped
1 1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
8 (10 inch) Healthy choice tortillas
2 cups shredded Fat Free Cheddar cheese

Directions
1.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the cabbage, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and water. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, and the water has cooked away, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas one at a time in a large skillet over medium heat until pliable.
2.Place a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon some of the filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese over the filling. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Not positive on Calories----It will depend on your choice of ingredients and whether or not you go fat-free or low-fat. The ones I make come out to be about 350 calories per burrito. However, I also use full fat cheese and uncooked tortillas. They could be made as healthy or as unhealthy as you like

Thanks much, I'll have to play around with this and enter it into spark people to see about the nutritional info. It's nice to have a base recipe to go off of and then make it fit my food program!
