Turkey Chili Burritos

1 pound ground lean turkey

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon salad oil

1 green bell pepper (about 1/2 lb.), rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

1 red onion (about 1/2 lb.), peeled and finely chopped

1 1/4 cups tomato salsa

1 firm-ripe tomato (1/2 lb.), rinsed, cored, and chopped

1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed Spanish-style olives

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon pepper

6 flour tortillas (10 in.)

1 cup shredded jack cheese (about 4 oz.)

4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Salt

Step 1

In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, stir turkey, garlic, oil, bell pepper, and onion, breaking meat apart with a spoon, until juices evaporate and turkey is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Add 1/2 cup tomato salsa, the chopped tomato, green chilies, cilantro, olives, chili powder, ground cumin, and pepper. Stir often until the flavors are blended, about 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl.

Step 3

Meanwhile, stack flour tortillas and seal in foil. Bake in a 350° oven until hot in center (open packet to check), about 10 minutes. Put remaining tomato salsa, cheese, and lettuce in separate bowls.

Step 4

To assemble each burrito, spoon 1/6 of the turkey mixture down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 2 inches bare at 1 end. Top equally with salsa, cheese, lettuce, and salt to taste. Fold bottom, then sides of tortilla over filling to enclose. Hold to eat.
