Burritos make a quick, tasty, and very portable meal that can be eaten hot or cold.
 Fat-free refried beans are available in most markets.
A growing number of markets also carry fat-free flour tortillas.

  • 1 15-ounce can fat-free refried beans, heated
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 2 medium green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa

In a large, ungreased skillet, heat a tortilla until it is warm and soft.
Spread about 1/2 cup of beans down the center of the tortilla, then top with lettuce.
Add tomato, green onions, and salsa.
Fold the bottom end toward the center, then roll the tortilla around the filling
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
