11 steps
- 1Heat a bit of olive oil or cooking spray in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 2Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 3Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir occasionally, cooking until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning packets along with 1/2 cup of water. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes so the flavors can meld together.
- 5In a small blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
- 6Lay out the tortilla wraps and evenly divide the ground beef mixture among them.
- 7Sprinkle a bit of low-fat cheddar cheese over the filling in each tortilla.
- 8Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the chipotle sauce over each portion of the filling.
- 9Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll them up tightly into burritos.
- 10For a crispy texture, lightly toast the burritos in a skillet or on a griddle for a few minutes if desired.
