Mario Lopezs Turkey And Black Bean Burritos Recipes

MARIO LOPEZ'S TURKEY AND BLACK BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil on medium until hot. Add turkey and cook 7 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat.
• Add beans, pepper, onion, barbecue sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt; cook mixture 5-7 minutes or until turkey is cooked through.
• To serve, place 1 tortilla on each of 4 serving plates. Divide turkey mixture evenly among tortillas; top with greens and cheese. Fold sides of tortillas over filling and roll tightly. Serve with hot sauce, if you like.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave. This will prevent them from cracking when you work with them.
• If they are not sufficiently heated, heat for an additional 10 seconds until fairly warm.
• Once heated, keep them warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer, or two inverted plates.
• Put the oil in a deep skillet. The oil should be about an inch deep.
• Turn the burner to medium-low. The oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on it.
• Remove one tortilla at a time from the warmer and place on clean surface.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoon refried beans in a line down center of tortilla.
• Place half a piece of cheese, followed by an additional fourth a piece cheese on the beans.
• Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in, then the sides.
• Place, seam side down, in the oil.
• Fry until browned on one side. This will not take long. Turn and brown on other side.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas as you did before and place them to the oil. You should have NO MORE than 3 frying at one time.
• When you remove them from the oil, place on a thick layer of paper towels to dry.
