My dad used to make this once a week growing up. The recipe came off a tortilla wrapper over 20 years ago. Super easy, cheap, lowfat, and yummy! Serve with a salad for a great weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
2/3 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
8 burrito-size flour tortillas
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and cook until clear.
3. Reduce heat to medium, add green chilies, refried beans, and spices.
4. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot.
5. Add cheese and stir until melted and combined.
6. Turn heat to low.
7. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Add 1 tortilla and cook about 1 minute per side, until slightly golden brown.
9. Remove tortilla to plate, spread 1/8 bean mixture, and wrap into a burrito.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with remaining tortillas.
