30 20 50

Ingredients

1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
1 medium mango, peeled and chopped
2 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
BURRITOS:
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup Burgundy wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
10 whole wheat tortilla (8 inches), warmed
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

For salsa, combine the first seven ingredients. Chill until serving.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the turkey, turmeric and cumin in oil over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.
Stir in the salsa, corn and black beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
Spoon about 1/2 cup turkey mixture off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Serve with salsa. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
