Easy to make, these special low-fat burritos taste awesome! You don't eat red meat, but love burritos? Well, you can't taste the difference here. These are medium spicy, not fire hot!
I don't know if it is the 2 cans of hot tomato sauce or the warmed tortillas, but this recipe was just phenomenal! There are not even seasonings used here, but the burritos just have this incredibly full flavor - there is nothing missing! These burritos are so incredibly easy, and this is one recipe I will keep on hand to use regularly. The burritos are quite healthy, and the recipe uses nothing containing a lot of fat. Thanks to Gary for providing a fantastic recipe! Two hints: 1) To keep this recipe healthy when you make it, be sure to use skinless ground turkey, otherwise the skin is ground into the turkey and it contains extra fat; 2) If you are like me and are terrible at folding burritos, spread a little refried beans on the ends you are trying to fold - they act like a sticky paste to kee the burritos nicely folded.
Read MoreThese were ok. I left out the beans & added burrito seasoning, cumin, and chili powder. Toppings were cilantro and sliced avocado. Nothing out of this world, but a healthy simple dinner to make on a busy weeknight. Although, I love the hot tomato sauce & plan on implementing that into many more dishes!

I expected these to be decent, but they were actually wonderful. My husband was also pleasantly surprised and asked me to make them again soon. I used Rotel tomatoes instead of the hot tomato sauce, only because I couldn't find it. I also wrapped the burritos, minus the sour cream, and placed them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes. The tortillas got nice and crunchy and the cheese was melted into the meat and beans. I then topped them with the sour cream and served. We will definitely be making these again. Thanks for the recipe!
WOW!! This recipe was really great!! My husband and I have been trying to eat healthy, and we love mexican style food so I thought this would be a great recipe to try. We used the 99% fat free ground turkey. Like alot of the other reviewers we could not find hot tomato sauce, so we replaced the two cans of hot tomato sauce with the following: (1) 8 oz. can of tomato sauce (1) 10oz. can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1/3 cup of medium salsa, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1/2 tablespoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 tablespoon of onion powder. The flavor was delicious! We will be making this recipe over and over again!
Excellent, but I added jalopenas to the mix. I bought fresh Jalopenas and fried them in olive oil, then draind the oil and mixed the peppers in with the meat. The longer you fry the peppers the less heat the remains. Also if you dont want them real hot take out the membranes and seeds and chose peppers without the skin beginning to crack.
We also didn't have hot tomatoe sauce so we used regular, and some taco seasoning. And wheat tortillas. It was delicious!
These burrito's were yummy! My husband thought they tasted as though from a restaurant. I found the hot tomato sauce, but chose not to use it. I wanted to have more control over my spices. For those of you who don't know where to find the hot tomato sauce, try the mexican foods aisle of your grocery store. I followed the advice of others, adding tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with chiles, chili powder, onion powder and ground cumin. I also added the refried beans directly to the meat mixture saving a step. This made so much I was able to freeze about half. Looking forward to eating it too!
Needs some serious spicing up, but other than that, it is a great start. And a great, healthy way to use ground turkey.
I thought this recipe was very good. I followed the suggestions of someone else and substituted the following: 1- 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, 1/3 cup salsa, and 1 can of hot diced tomatoes with green chilis for the 2 cans of hot tomato sauce (b/c I couldn't find any at the market). I also added the following seasonings: 1 TBS of cumin, chili powder and onion powder. I also used whole wheat tortillas. I will make this recipe again! I love the low fat version by using turkey instead of beef.
For the reviewer who stated that these were not authentic....who cares, they're delicious! As a matter of fact, cheddar cheese is the perfect option for me Gary and I thank you submitting your recipe!
Loved it! It's easy to make. I used canned turkey from the pantry, and it was delicious!
For spicy tomato sauce, I use "El Pato" brand. In a little yellow can with a duck on the front. Yummy.
These were ok. I left out the beans & added burrito seasoning, cumin, and chili powder. Toppings were cilantro and sliced avocado. Nothing out of this world, but a healthy simple dinner to make on a busy weeknight. Although, I love the hot tomato sauce & plan on implementing that into many more dishes!
I made this for dinner tonight..... the family loved it! It's a keeper! Made a batch of Best Spanish Rice to go along with it. So filling and pretty healthy!! :)
Very good! This satisfies my craving for Mexican food and saves me some MAJOR calories. Great recipe!
This is a great healthy recipe. My husband and I actually have been making something similar to this for years. Hint ***** I see lots of people cannot find the 2 cans of hot tomato sauce. We use a hot tomato sauce called El Pato, it is either in the canned tomato area or the hispanic ingredients aisle. It cost about .50 and has the perfect seasoning. Nothing could be easier. : )
This is a delicious recipe. So easy to make. Great for those weeknights when you are short on time.
I only gave these 3 stars cuz I really didnt care for it too much. I did use left over turkey leg meat instead of ground turkey, maybe that makes a difference. I will try it again with the ground turkey and see if it is better.
These are a good start, but had to add some things to spice it up... to the meat mixture, I added cumin, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cilantro, diced poblano peppers, and diced green chilies. I couldn't find "hot tomato sauce", so I used regular (no salt added) with hot sauce and cayenne pepper. I also substituted refried black beans for the regular ones and left out the corn (on accident). They turned out great.
I loved it, but it needed seasoning. I added cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder, to taste.
i was amazed at how good these turned out! i was really skeptical because there is not any seasoning or other ingredients to give the burritos a mexican-type flavor, but somehow they tasted perfectly spiced and just like a full fat beef burrito would! i couldn't find hot tomato sauce, so i used regular tomoto sauce and about 1/4c of frank's red hot sauce to give it some spice. i think i could have used even more, too. i ate these in warmed flour tortillas and my hubby enjoyed them in crispy taco shells. either way i was so impressed with this!!
These are really good! I didn't have 2 cans of tomato sauce so I used 1 can of rotel tomatoes with the 1 can of tomato sauce that I had. I did add some minced garlic, salt and pepper too. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Such simple ingredients and so easy to make. I was really surprised. My family loved it. I did add taco seasoning.
These burritos are awesome! I didn't chnge a thing about the recipe and they turned out great. Definitely a keeper.
this recipe was a hit, even with my husband who hates anything healthy! Next time I may try to make it more of a wet burrito by putting the meat and beans inside the tortilla and the sauce and cheese over top and then baking it.
these were easy and great. Couldn't find hot tomato sauce so I used 7oz tomatoe sauce and 15z can diced tomatoe with jalapeno plus added a little chili powder. they really weren't spicy at all. Also put them in the oven for 10min topped with fat free cheddar and taco sause..Yummy kids loved them!
Mine came out a little bland so I spiced it up a lot. The recipe made a lot of food, which is good for the work week. Easy and quick.
This was fabulous. I used one can tomato sauce and one can of Rotel instead of the hot tomato sauce. I baked them in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese on top. Everyone loved this recipe. We will be adding this to our rotation.
VERY good and filling. Took other's suggestion and added rice to the mix. Tossed them in the oven as well. Took the overflow and foiled/wrapped individually in the freezer (yet another great idea) for one of those nights - "What's for dinner??" Nice substantial meal at a low cost.
This is a great base recipe. I'm a spice person so I added some cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. I used a mild taco sauce instead of the tomato sauce, just cus it's what I had on hand. Instead of canned corn I used trader joes corn and chili tomato less salsa. It's basically my go-to item any time I make Mexican. I HIGHLY recommend that salsa in this recipe (and every other recipe!). Those were my only alterations and I was very happy with how this turned out. So filling and you feel good about saving the fat from using turkey. I will definitely make this again!
This was fast, easy and very tasty. I read other reviews and instead of tomato sauce I used a 16 oz. jar of garden salsa. This came out great.
It satisfied my craving for a non-pretentious burrito, but I think next time I try it I'll leave out the corn. It seemed to take the edge off of the hot tomato sauce, and in the end the meat reminded me more of a sloppy joe filling.
Good healthy dish...kept feeling like it needed something more. I can say that my husband really liked it.
This was excellent, but did do a few things different based on reviews and my own twist 1) cooked the turkey in peanut oil, splash of liquid smoke, worchester and soy sauce. 2) added 1 can of tomato sauce and about half to 3/4 a can of las palmas red chili sauce (med).. Also, added a small amount of mccormick taco seasoning. The meat came out perfect with a nice bite, but not too much. Next time will add some shredded lettuce.
Another of those "I hate to rate after making changes" but wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this and like it much better than another burrito recipe I had been using. I had an open can of creamed corn from another recipe that I used in this instead of regular corn, and could not initially find hot tomato sauce so I used enchilada sauce and tomatoes with chiles. Was worried that the filling was too thin, then I had a great idea to mix the refried beans in with the meat mix and it thickened it right up! Needed the full 20 mins to simmer, too. When all was said and done, the mix had a wonderful sweet/hot thing working that I really enjoyed! I'm sure the sweet was the creamed corn and I felt myself wanting more of that taste, but at the same time wanting more heat. All in all, very good. My teen son ate 4 of these using smaller tortillas when we ran out of bigger ones!
awesome is all I have to say this came out great I did not do anything to the recipe. One word of warning be sure to use good quality shells, I used thin inferior ones and I had a few blowouts, but it was still excellent. Enjoy!
Delicious and easy. I made with rice rather than beans due to a member of my household's allergy, but everyone LOVED this,even the pickiest members of my family.
Yummy yummy! I took some of the suggestions of others. Unable to find the "hot" tomato sauce, I mixed half a can of tomato sauce, half a can of diced tomatoes with chiles, and about a teaspoon each of chili powder, cumin, and onion powder. Instead of heating up the tortillas on the stove, I heated the oven to 350 and put the burritos in, minus the sour cream, for 8 minutes, then topped with sour cream when they came out. Delicious!
I am not a big fan of ground trukey. It was just o.k. My husband and son would not touch it. Next time I will use ground beef meat instead.
I made this as listed, and ate one. It was good. I decided to finish the rest of them off in the oven, covered in shredded cheese, at 375* for 10 mins. Was great!
For those looking for hot tomato sauce it would be in the mexican section of the grocery store and it is El Pato brand.
Delicious! Trying to eat a bit healthier and this was great. I used Goya Sofrito tomato cooking base since Stop & Shop had no hot tomato sauce. I added hot sauce and adjusted it for taste as needed. I will be making these again real soon!
These were very good, but needed spicing up. I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of both cumin and chili powder to the meat mixture. I used Rotel tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. I didn't use as much sour cream, but I increased the cheese to over a cup. I had enough filling for 7 burritos. My family loved these, so I'm sure I'll be making them again.
This is an excellent choice if you are interested in diversifying your menu when you are trying to eat healthy. I could not find hot tomato sauce in my grocery store, so I used cayenne pepper; I didn't measure, but used about 3/4 teaspoon in the meat mixture and another 3/4 teaspoon after the tomato sauce is added. I have also used Sriracha hot chili sauce, commonly found in Chinese restaurants and many grocery stores. With this method, you will get heat in every bite. Despite adding the spice, the mixture was still only moderately spicy; not too much. One could prepare this recipe without the refried beans and it would still be very good.
Great burritos! My husband usually says he would add this or do that but this was one recipe he said he couldn't have made any better!
Nice quick, easy, tasty, dinner
This recipe made my family realize that, yes, they do like ground turkey. I love the healthiness of the recipe, and the fact that it tastes so good is a bonus. I brown the turkey in the morning, put it in the slow cooker with the corn, sauce, a little cumin and garlic, and let it sit on low for about 6 hours. The flavors really come together and it's great for those busy nights when we can't all eat at the same time. The meat is ready whenever someone is ready to eat. Thanks for such a convenient, healthy, tasteful dinner.
Really simple but really good. I like substituting turkey for ground beef in many recipes but its often a noticeable sacrifice. These burritos were a great exception. I did add some seasoning (cayenne, cumin and sp) and fresh garlic to be fair though. Still a great quick recipe that surprised me and my boyfriend. Try it out!
This recipe was simple and very tasty! We added a little bit of taco seasoning to it, but that's it. We served it on tortillas with black beans and rice and it tasted great! Thanks!
Similar to other reviewers in that this is a very good base recipe. Making your seasoning choices is up to the cook's discretion. 1 tablespoon of cumin and a pinch of red pepper flake did do the trick.
Pretty tasty! Looked like a 'Mom's Special' in the skillet (mystery dinner) - but tasted great! I didn't have the hot tomato sauce, so I used tomato sauce and salsa instead. We used the smaller tortillas, filled and wrapped tightly, and warmed in the oven for a crispy exterior. I baked quite a few of these - way more than my husband and I could eat for dinner. I let the remainder cool, then I froze them for quick lunches to reheat in the oven or micro during the day.
Used less heat by using 1 hot tomato sauce & 1 regular. Tasty; may add some other seasoning next time. To the person asking about carbs, that would be the refried beans & tortillas
The recipe turned out really good, some other reviewer suggested to use diced tomatoes instead of hot tomato sauce so i used that. I also found it easier to roll and stuff the burritos before placing it on the stove.
Nothing out of this world, but a good meal. Would've liked for it to have been a bit spicier. But we all enjoyed it.
This was good but didn't have the total flavor I was looking for (fam loved ti & wants to make again). I added some vegetarian refried beans to mixture for extra protein & give it more "stickiness"(kids have a hard time w/ holding it together). I used more onion that called for and added 1 can of black beans. I also added rice & green pepper to stretch it further b/c recipe won't feed a fam of 5 (the 3 kids have HS/adult appetites). Since it tasted blander for my taste (I dn have hot tomato sauce) - I added some taco seasoning, cumin & cayenne pepper. Overall good recipe and will make again.
This is very good. I used one can of hot tomato sauce (look in mexican section of grocery) and then the rest mild salsa. My husband and I both enjoyed!
Very good recipe! I left out the sour cream and I actually found mild tomato sauce at the store and it worked great. It was even better the next day!
I left out the corn and used some broccoli slaw instead. Also only used one can of tomato sauce. I wasn't able to find hot tomato sauce, so i zipped mine up with chili podwer, cumin, garlic, allspice and red pepper flakes. I also used whole black beans instead of refrieds. This has been very tasty to take for work lunches and they freeze well. Just bring the sour cream on the side to add after I nuke.
DELICIOUS!!! We loved these burritos! I had to modify slightly because I couldn't find hot tomato sauce... used one can regular tomato sauce, one can Rotel, one can diced green chilis, and some chili powder. I also added cumin to the mixture. I took the advice of another reviewer and baked the burritos for about 5 minutes to make them nice and crispy. Very, very good... this is a 'make-again'. Thanks for sharing it!
The filling was ok but I did not like that you had to heat the flour tortillas one at a time...It makes it hard for a family to sit down and eat at once. I tried to pre make them and heat them in the oven like another review commented but I thought they came out dry. Not to my liking
These are quick and easy. Tasty. Cheap. Healthy. They fit all my criteria for a 5-star meal. You can make 100 variations of these, too, by adding veggies to the turkey, using your tortilla preference, topping with any number of delicious add-ons or altering to no/low/full fat ingredients depending on your taste. The leftovers are awesome, too. I served with grilled red peppers and zucchini and roasted ears of corn.
do not make any changes, Ro Tel tomatoes and green pepper is great, the real tomatoe can be found in most grocery stores under the El Pato brand. I have found the sauce in Wal Mart and the specialty foods sections in all stores here in North Carolina.
Very good. Couldn't find hot t-sauce. Used petite diced tomatoes w jalopenos and some reg sauce. Added some cumin to taste more Mexican. Came out mild as listed. Family enjoyed them. I put extra cheese on top and broiled quickly to melt it. Came out nice
this was a good, healthy way to have burritos. not my favorite way to spice up ground turkey - but i finished my meal! thanks for the recipe.
love this recipe. was looking for something different to make. Didn't have the veggies the first time i made it. But I did make some rice and added it to the burrito. It was so filling I couldn't finish my second one and I am a light eater. To spice it up, try Frank's Red Hot hot sauce
this recipe is soo easy and quick - excellent! i used McCormicks burrito seasoning rather than getting the hot tomato sauce and added it into the tomato, turkey, corn and onion mixture. turned out great
Made as written, it lacks some flavor. I did add some spices to flavor it up. I also used Rotel and canned sweet yellow corn. Made with some changes, to add flavor, it's delicious! I also used whole grain tortillas, too.
Easy and YUMMY! Next time I will cut recipe in half, 6 serving was WAY too much! I sprinkled chili poweder on turkey while it was cooking and then cayenne into the meat mixture. I had a few burritos left over and had them for lunch....not as good but still good!
These were great! The only thing I did differently was bake these in the oven. After I rolled them, I put them on a baking sheet, brushed them with some vegetable oil lightly and sprinkled a little more cheese on top. Baked them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. It made them a little more crispy :) P.S. These taste even better the next day nuked in the microwave!!
Look for a can called pato sauce that's hot tomato sauce and it is so delicious it's usually in the Mexican isle it has a duck on it
Love this recipe. It was so easy to make and tasted wonderful. I have five in my household (two with autism) and it is hard to find something that everyone will eat. EVERYONE ate it and loved it! Definitely a keeper!
Very good! Only thing I changed was I added chopped jalapenos because I love a little hot bite in almost everything. ;) Great taste blend though,and I guess you could use this for nachos,tacos,burritos,etc..! Love the corn in it! I thought about adding black beans too but didn't this time.
We enjoyed this one, we liked the taste of the meat mixture very well. I wasn't sure how the ground turkey would taste with the tomato sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised, it was great! I did add a little bit of cumin, but I followed the rest of the recipe as written. Thank you for posting this recipe, Gary!
Really tasty. Used a jar of mild garden salsa and a bit of tomato sauce in place of the hot tomato sauce. Also used a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes.
This was really good. It needed some spicing up and i follows some suggestions of the other users. Overall it was very filling and we will be making this again.
this was awesome. my BF LOVED it and so did i. i used one can of hot tomato sauce (very good and adds flavor but as with all sauces it does contain a lot of salt) and used chopped fresh tomatoes. we try to eat pretty clean so there was no cheese or sour cream. used frozen corn defrosted in cool water (makes no difference i think) whole wheat tortilla from trader joes (yum!) i made my own refried beans in the slow cooker the night before with the "refried beans without the fry" (very easy!) recipe from this website. i did add cumin and chili powder and onion powder per recommendsations of others. thanks for the simple recipe it was fantastic!
As a grad student who seldom eats fast food (a nutrition grad student, that is), I like this dish because of the flexibility it provides. I can freeze the whole batch and cook up these tasty burritos whenever I need dinner in a hurry! I drained the ground turkey before combining with the corn and onions; also, I used salsa to give the sauce a kick.
Delicious! The only change I made was because I didn't have hot sauce so I used a jar of medium salsa plus 4 oz of tomato sauce.
It was outstanding with changes that I took from other reviewers: I used 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of diced tomatos with green chiles and 1/3 cup of medium salsa instead of two cans of hot tomato sauce. I used black beans instead of refried. I didn't warm the tortillas on the stove - I wrapped the burritos and then put them in the 350 oven for 7 minutes - they were perfect. I also added just under one tablespoon each of cumin and chili pepper, and used whole wheat tortillas.
Really good healthy meal. I like ground chicken better than the turkey though.
I like black bean instead of the refried beans and Picanta Sauce instead of the tomato sauce and add to taste hot sauce or chili powder
this recipe is very good and extremely easy to make. good job and thank you!!
We added hot sauce to a bit more flavor. We also made extra and froze them for later! For freezing individually wrap each one in plastic wrap then put all burritos in a large plastic bag and freeze. To microwave unwrap one burrito and wrap in a paper towel and place on a plate. Cook for 4 min on 50% power, flip over and return to microwave at 50% for 2 addl minutes.
This was great...I did put them together and then under the broiler for toasting.
The burritos were excellent!! Although it was my first time making burritos and the first one was difficult to roll, I got the hang of it. Much healthier with turkey than beef. So A+ on this recipe :)
We loved this recipe! I added taco seasoning to regular tomato sauce. I also followed another reviewers suggestion and baked the burritos in a 350 oven for about 10 minutes until they got crispy on the outside. Definitely a keeper.
sooo good, my boyfriend thought these tasted better than a restaurant! I used others ideas and instead of the hot tomato sauce used rotel tomatoes with cumin, onion powder, and chili powder.....way good, will make this again and again!
This has become a new favorite of mine! It is so simple and inexpensive to make, yet it produces a delicious, healthy meal. I didn't have to add any seasoning with the exception of my liking it spicy. I added a big squirt of my favorite chili sauce - Sriracha Chili Sauce - to spice it up. I have made this dish twice in the past two weeks, and froze some for later. Even with such great results as it is, this recipe can be altered to suit everyone's palate (add black beans, cilantro, etc.). I found the hot tomato sauce in the "Mexican" food section. The cans are small and the brand I bought was El Pato (yellow can). I highly recommend using this sauce, as I will now be using it in other recipes!
Good but not mind blowing... I checked 3 stores in my area and just could not find hot tomato sauce, so I was stuck with diced tomatoes and chiles... It was good, it was eaten... :) Thanks for sharing the recipe
I have made these burritos twice, and am making them tonight.... my boyfriend and his brother loved them! Double the recipe because they will go fast! I used El Pato hot tomato sauce found with the ethnic foods! YUM!
