Ingredients

• 1 medium head lettuce
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 large tomato
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 ounce low-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 can black beans (no salt added)
• 2 2/3 pounds lean ground beef (turkey or chicken)

Method

1. 1 Rinse and chop lettuce, bell pepper, tomato, jalapeño, onion, and garlic. Grate tomato and onion into a bowl. Grate the cheese.
2. 2 Drain and rinse the black beans. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the meat, bell pepper, and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. 3 Stir in corn, beans, water, chili powder, salt, cumin, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until liquid is mostly gone.
4. 4 Mix the grated tomato, onion, and jalapeño with a pinch of salt to make a quick salsa. Divide meat mixture among tortillas.
5. 5 Top each tortilla with grated cheese, salsa, and lettuce. Roll up and serve immediately.
