Beef and bean burritos are a Tex-Mex favorite lightened up by swapping in ground turkey for the usual beef. The key the success of the swap is to make sure the turkey remains moist by not overcooking it. It will be done in less than 10 minutes so keep an eye on it. Garlic, chili powder, and cumin add lots of savory Southwest flavor here, but if you like things South-of-the-Border spicy, add a few fresh or pickled jalapeño slices to the burritos before rolling them up. Or douse your burrito with a shake or two of hot sauce with every bite. Other varieties of beans can stand in for the pinto beans. Try kidney, black, or navy beans.
