I see a lot of my friends put recipes on their blogs, and thought it's such a great idea. I love trying new things and instead of sending recipes via email many times, I can put them on my blog for everyone to enjoy. :)
My favorite recipe to make families with new babies is from Rachel Ray and are called Turkey, Tomatillo, and Bean Burritos. They're delicious, the recipe makes quite a bit, they're easy, healthy and I can also vary the ingredients for a little different burritos. Here's the recipe:
Turkey, Tomatillo, and Bean Burritos
4 12-inch flour tortillas (I usually use the smaller tortillas, and use 8-10...I don't even think 4 is enough to hold all the insides of the burritos)
2 tbs. vegetable oil (I use olive oil, and not even this much)
1 pkg. ground turkey breast
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 15 oz. can pinto beans, rinsed and drained (I have also used black beans, or a mixture of different beans)
1 16 oz. jar tomatillo salsa
2 tbs. fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (I sometimes put a little more, because I love cilantro)
1 10 oz. pkg shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or whatever you have is fine)
* If you are going to cook this right now, then preheat oven to 350 and just cook until hot, about 20 minutes. If you want to refrigerate to bake later, I would say same temperature but more lik 30-40 minutes depending on how much you pile into one pan. Also, spray your 9x13 pan with cooking spray before you put the burritos in.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet with the oil. Add the ground turkey and break it up with back of a spoon as it cooks and browns, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, beans, and 1 1/2 cups of the tomatillo salsa (that's about 3/4 of the jar). Turn the heat up to high and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened. Remove from the heat and add the cilantro, stirring to distribute.
Pile the turkey mixture into the tortillas, sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of cheese(maybe a little less for the smaller tortillas), and then roll them up. Line your casserole dish with the burritos, seam side down. Top each burrito with a little bit of the remaining tomatillo salsa and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at the above temp and time,depending on if you refrigerated this or not. :) Enjoy!
