Sausage and Bean Burritos
We used low-fat fresh chicken sausage for our burritos,
but you may also use leftover chopped chicken, pork or beef.
Makes 4 servings
1
teaspoon good quality olive oil
3/4 pound fresh turkey or chicken sausage, casings removed
8
green onions, trimmed and chopped
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1
can (15-ounce) white beans, drained, rinsed and drained again
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1
tomato (6 ounces), cored, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
8 ounces shredded lowfat Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (about 2 cups)
4 9-inch flour tortillas (may use flavored such as sun-dried tomato)
sour cream and salsa for garnish
Place the rack in position “B”; preheat the Cuisinart ® Classic Toaster Oven
Broiler to 350° F. Spray a 7 x 11- inch baking dish with cooking spray, or rub
with olive oil.
In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the
sausage and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, breaking up with a
fork or wooden spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the sausage. Add a
quarter of the green onions, the chopped parsley, white beans and salt to the
same pan. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash the beans (the beans
should be just partially mashed), and cook until heated through, about 3 to 4
minutes. Crumble the drained sausage and stir into the bean mixture. Transfer
to a bowl and let cool. Stir in the chopped tomato, chopped jalapeño, lime juice,
half the cheese and half the remaining green onions.
Spread one quarter of the sausage/bean mixture in a line just below the
center of each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining
cheese. Roll the burritos and place them seam side down in the prepared
baking dish. Cover with a sheet of foil that has been sprayed with cooking
spray; bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle evenly with the
remaining cheese and chopped green onions.
Continue to bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 12 to 15 minutes
longer. Serve with guacamole, salsa and sour cream for garnish.
Variation:
- Use fresh ground turkey or chicken in place of sausage.
