Lose Weight By Eating

These Low Calorie Bean and Cheese Burritos are just 365 calories and have 15.4g of protein too!

I included lots of yummy add-ins. I like to add in Green Salsa (it makes these tase like Del Taco's Bean Burritos) but you can add in your favorite burrito fillings and create your own favorite recipe.

Special Tip: If you don't want to toast the burritos, heat the bean mixture in a small pot on the stove top, or in the microwave. Then finish the filling and rolling of the burritos. That's it, then you're ready to eat.

Ingredients

1 (16-oz) can refried beans
½ cup Low Calorie Salsa (or store-bought)
¼ medium yellow onion minced
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese

Optional Add-Ins:

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a medium bowl combine the beans, salsa, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and add 1/2 cup of bean mixture to the center. Spread so that it is covering the center of the burrito, then top with 1/8 cup of cheese, and then add any optional add-ins you choose.
Fold the bottom and top edges of the tortilla over the filling. Then fold in the sides and finish by rolling the tortilla up.
Continue filling and rolling the burritos, adding to the prepared baking sheet as you work.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, and serve hot.

Meal Prep Burritos:

Roll up the burritos as directed, but do not bake. Instead wrap each in parchment paper, and place in a freezer bag or container.
Store in the fridge for 5 days or the freezer for 2 month.
To reheat – add a defrosted burrito to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Or add to the microwave and cook for 1-2 minutes. For frozen burritos, add to the microwave and cook for 2-4 minutes, flipping once.
