Substituting lean turkey for beef in these burritos keeps the calorie and fat counts down. (But with loads of tasty spices, you won’t miss the beef one bit.) If you want, set up a bar with each of the fixings in a separate bowl and let your family members build their own burritos.

| 1 pound lean ground turkey | 1 cup canned, fat-free refried beans, warmed | |
| 1/2 teaspoon onion powder | 4 large flour tortillas | |
| 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder | 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream | |
| 2 teaspoon chili powder | 1/4 cup store bought enchilada sauce | |
| 1/4 teaspoon salt | 1 vine-ripened tomato, seeded and diced | |
| 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper | 2 cups shredded lettuce | |
| 1 teaspoon olive oil | 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the bottom of a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with the side of a wooden spoon, until the crumbles are completely cooked through.
Spread 1/4 cup of the refried beans down the center of each of the 4 flour tortillas. Top the beans with a portion of the cooked turkey. Dollop 1 tablespoon of sour cream over the meat on each burrito, then drizzle each with a tablespoon of the enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the burritos with some tomatoes, lettuce and shredded cheddar. Fold up the bottom edge of the burrito, then bring in the sides and use a dab of refried beans as a "glue" to keep the tortilla from unwrapping.
