Ingredients

Cooking spray

2 spray(s)

Uncooked extra lean ground turkey breast

½ pound(s)

Fat free refried beans

16 oz

Fat free salsa

1¾ cup(s)

Reduced-fat shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup(s)

Canned green chili peppers

4½ oz, mild, drained and diced

Chili powder

1 tsp(s)

Uncooked scallions

3 tbsp(s), thinly sliced

Burrito-size wheat flour tortilla

8 item(s), large

Fat free salsa

1 cup(s)

Fat free sour cream

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Coat a 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Add turkey to skillet and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from pan and then add beans, 8 ounces of salsa, chili peppers, chili powder and scallions. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes; stir in cheese.
  3. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil; warm in oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Assemble chimichangas by spooning about 1/2 cup of turkey mixture onto each tortilla; fold in sides and roll up.
  5. Place chimichangas in prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered until tortillas are crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. Serve each topped with 2 tablespoons of additional salsa and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
