Ingredients

• 4 units Whole wheat tortillas
• 8 ounces Lean ground turkey
• 8 ounces Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
• 1 cup Red kidney beans, canned and drained
• 1 cup Bell peppers, diced
• 0.5 cup Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
• 1 unit Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 2

Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned.

Step 3

Dice the skinless, boneless chicken breast and add to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes until fully cooked through.

Step 4

Add bell peppers, kidney beans, and low-sodium taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir it well and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds or grill lightly in a pan to make them more pliable.

Step 7

Lay a tortilla flat and place a quarter of the turkey and chicken mixture in the center. Top with a few slices of avocado and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling and fold the tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides and rolling from one end to the other.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
