Cheesy Beef Burritos Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- Spread a layer of plain non-fat Greek yogurt over each tortilla. Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla.
- Top with fresh salsa or chopped tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, and jalapeños if using.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, keeping the filling tightly packed.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with additional salsa on the side.
