Skinny Black Bean Burritos

Fresh Veggies for Black Bean Burritos!

In honor of the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday, here is an amazingly delicious and fresh Skinny Black Bean Burrito recipe!

They are easy to prepare and so satisfying!

Ingredients:

• One yellow, orange or red Bell Pepper, coarsely chopped
• One medium or half large sweet onion (such as Vidalia onion), coarsely chopped
• One medium jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and chopped
• Handful of grape or cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Two cloves of garlic, pressed (feel free to use minced!)
• Pan spray
• Adobo seasoning
• 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup fat free Greek-style yogurt
• Shredded low-fat Mexican style cheese
• Salsa for garnish
• Low-carb wraps, such as Tumaro’s “Skip the Sandwich” Wraps

Instructions:

1. Spray a medium non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat.
2. Toss in Bell pepper, onion, jalapeno pepper, tomatoes, garlic and cilantro and fry until softened and onion is translucent.
3. Season with salt and pepper or Adobo seasoning.
4. Fold in black beans and cook for an additional minute or two until beans are warmed.
5. Remove pan from heat and mix in yogurt.  Do NOT do this while the pan is still on the heat or it will curdle! You can also use low-fat cream cheese, but I found the Greek yogurt gave a “fresher” taste and also had less WW points.
6. Spoon the mixture into preheated tortillas.  Sprinkle with a bit of Mexican style cheese and top with salsa, if desired.

This recipe makes 4-6 fully stuffed burritos and–if prepared as above with fat free yogurt and low-carb wraps–they are only 2 Weight Watcher points!!
