Ground Turkey Burritos That Will Fool Your Kids

Ground Turkey Burritos That Will Fool Your Kids

Great kid-friendly ground turkey recipe — your kids will eat the burritos and ask for more! Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to a lot of evening swim meets, and our kids love them for an on-the-go dinner. If we told them what was inside, they would say, “Ew!” Make these without cheese for a lighter option.

Ingredients

  • water to cover
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 head red cabbage
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 12 (10 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

Step 2
Cut off stem of red cabbage. Peel off leaves gently, being careful not to tear. Place individual leaves gently into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until tender but still crunchy and red, 8 to 10 minutes more. Drain.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saut? onion, celery, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in turkey and season with salt. Cook and stir until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cooked rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Step 4
Place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each tortilla. Fill with turkey-rice mixture. Fold the bottom end up and roll into a tight burrito.

Step 5
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add burritos in batches; cook, flipping as necessary, until outsides are crunchy, about 5 minutes.
