HEATHER'S MEXICAN ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Place a small nonstick skillet on medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it.
• With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to mist lightly with oil spray. Add the turkey or beef to the pan.
• Cook, breaking into chunks with a wooden spoon for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and no longer pink.
• Transfer the turkey or beef to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
• Return the pan to medium heat.
• Place the tortilla in the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until just warmed.
• Transfer to a serving plate.
• Starting at one side, spread the sour cream evenly over two-thirds of the tortilla.
• Scatter the reserved turkey or beef over the sour cream. Top with the lettuce, tomato, and salsa.
• Starting at the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly into a tube, being careful not to tear it. Serve immediately.
