Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup shredded zucchini
2 tablespoons canned diced green chiles, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb uncooked ground chicken or 1 lb ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 cup salsa
1 green onion, chopped (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt
4 flour tortillas
lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • Combine zucchini, green chiles, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add ground chicken; mix well. Shape chicken mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  • In a large skillet cook patties in hot oil over medium heat about 10 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degree F), turning once.
  • Meanwhile, combine salsa, green onion, cilantro, and yogurt. Place each burger on the upper half of a flour tortilla. Add lettuce and salsa mixture. Fold the bottom half over burger; fold the sides to the center, overlapping slightly. (If using hamburger buns, line bottoms of the toasted buns with lettuce leaves; add the burger, salsa mixture, and bun tops.).
