Instructions
Creating the Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Burrito is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these easy steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Heat Turkey: Add the shredded turkey to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
3. Add the Spices: Sprinkle in cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the turkey and veggies. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
4. Incorporate Rice and Beans: Stir in the cooked rice and black beans, mixing until thoroughly combined. Add the corn and heat for another minute.
5. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
6. Assemble Burritos: Distribute the turkey filling evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Top each serving with shredded cheese.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, ensuring all filling is secured inside.
8. Toast Burritos (Optional): For a crispy texture, return the burrito seam-side down to a hot skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
9. Garnish: Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the burritos in half and serve them warm with sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.
