Ingredients

  • onion
  • garlic
  • lean ground beef
  • low-sodium taco seasoning
  • beef broth
  • tomato paste
  • light cream cheese
  • low-calorie tortilla wraps
  • low-fat cheese
  • non-fat Greek yogurt
  • light mayonnaise
  • chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • lime juice
  • honey
  • smoked paprika

  • salt

Method

  1. 1

    Start by finely chopping the onion.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for one additional minute.

  4. 4

    Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon.

  5. 5

    Season the beef with the taco seasoning and mix well. Cook until the beef is fully browned.

  6. 6

    Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, and light cream cheese. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has been absorbed and the mixture is thick and creamy.

  7. 7

    Lay out a tortilla wrap and spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the center. Top with shredded low-fat cheese.

  8. 8

    Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.

  9. 9

    Place the burritos seam-side down in a hot, lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  10. 10

    While the burritos are cooking, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, lime juice, honey (if using), smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

  11. 11

    Blend the sauce ingredients until completely smooth and creamy.

  12. 12

    Once the burritos are browned, remove them from the pan. Serve immediately with the creamy chipotle sauce for dipping.
