Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat refried beans
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Taco seasoning
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the low-fat refried beans with the taco seasoning until well combined.
Step 2
If using brown rice, warm it up and set it aside.
Step 3
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the seasoned refried beans onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beans on each tortilla.
Step 5
Add 1/4 cup of brown rice (if using) and a spoonful of salsa to each tortilla for extra flavor.
Step 6
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and slightly crispy.
Step 8
Remove the burritos from the skillet and serve warm. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, additional salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for garnish.
Step 9
Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Bean Burritos while they’re warm!
