I love to grill these sandwiches for quick summer meals or impromptu get-togethers around the pool. They're a snap to prepare, and no one ever guesses that they're low fat. Joan Hallford of North Richland Hills, Texas Ingredients:
1 cup fat-free refried beans |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained, divided |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed |
1 cup chopped lettuce |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1/2 cup salsa |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the beans, 2 tablespoons green chilies, onion and salt. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 5-in. patties. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese; fold in half and press edges to seal, forming a half moon.
2. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on tortillas with lettuce, tomato, salsa and remaining chilies. Yield: 8 servings.
