• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)

• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the plain non-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir well to create a creamy Tex-Mex sauce.

Step 2

Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Step 3

Spread 2 tablespoons of the Tex-Mex sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4

Layer each tortilla with equal portions of fresh baby spinach, chopped bell peppers, diced tomato, sweet corn, and cooked black beans.

Step 5

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables on each tortilla.

Step 6

Top the layers with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for added flavor.

Step 7

Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays in place.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and warmed through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the rolls cool slightly before slicing them into halves or serving whole.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy Low Fat Tex-Mex Rolls!
