    Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. To the bottom third of each tortilla, add 1/2 cup scallion-lime rice in a line. Top with 1/2 cup ground turkey, then tomato, queso blanco, and crushed chips. Fold up bottom sides over filling, then fold left and right sides toward filling. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to form burritos. TIP: For less mess, place each burrito on a large piece of aluminum foil before rolling, then wrap up foil. Simply unwrap as you eat.

    Halve burritos on a diagonal. Divide burritos, any remaining scallion-lime rice, and any remaining ground turkey between plates. TIP: You can pile the turkey on top of the rice and use the remaining chips to scoop it all up. Serve with remaining tortilla chips and remaining lime wedges on the side.
