Ingredients



1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion(s), chopped
1/2 package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped or 1 tsp dried cilantro
1/2 cup salsa
8 oz tortilla, flour, fat-free, about 4 burrito-size tortillas
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese
16 oz fat-free canned refried beans






Instructions




  1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet until it sizzles.


  2. Stir-fry onions, mixed vegetables and cilantro until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.


  3. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans in middle of each tortilla. Sprinkle grated cheese over beans, then top with about 1/4 cup of the cooked vegetables.


  4. Fold over each end of the burrito, then fold one side to the center over the filling; then fold up the other side (like an envelope).


  5. Place one burrito on a plate and microwave at full power until cheese melts and beans are warm, about 2 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes to cook four burritos at once.


  6. Top each burrito with 2 tablespoons salsa and serve.
