We're not fans of ground turkey, but since there were plenty of spices, we did not miss the ground beef. I made a few modifications, but used the spices as listed. I was filling lazy and decided not to form these into patties, and just browned the turkey with the spices and added the beans to the skillet. I skipped the rice because we didn't have any on hand. After it was cooked, I spread the guacamole (made as directed, except omitted the sour cream to reduce the fat and calories on a tortilla and sprinkled it with the cooked turkey and bean mixture. I topped our burritos with a little reduced fat cheese and cilantro. Yummy; will make again.

These are excellent! Easy, quick, and very affordable. My husband enjoyed these a great deal and he is NOT a burger fan. I'm a huge fan so I am tickled to have found these. Thanks, Rachel!

Nice idea, my daughter is diabetic and I have been looking for ways to incorporate more beans into her diet. She said the burger was good! Yay! I only used a little bit of rice and a lot of spices. I did not make the guac so I served with tomato, lettuce, jalepenos and some taco sauce. Cheese might be a good addition for next time.
