MAKES 4 SERVINGS

These burritos wrap up a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. They are versatile enough that
you can add any leftover vegetables, grains, or beans that are in your refrigerator.

1 can (15 ounces) low-fat vegetarian refried beans
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup Calabacitas (optional)
1⁄2 cup Mango Salsa or other favorite salsa
1⁄2 cup Low-Fat Guacamole
2 green onions, chopped


1. Heat the refried beans in small saucepan or in a microwave until
warmed through.

2. Warm the tortillas, one at a time, in a dry skillet over medium heat.
Alternatively, warm the tortillas in the microwave.

3. Spread one-quarter of the beans down the center of each tortilla and
top with the remaining ingredients. Fold the bottom end of each
tortilla toward the center, then roll the tortilla around the filling.
Alternatively, place all of the ingredients on the table and let everyone
assemble their own burritos.
