Chipotle Black Bean Burritos

Wraps, burritos, soft tacos...put it in a whole wheat wrapper and it is likely something that we will like and enjoy. These chipotle-flavored bean burritos are low in fat and calories and are perfect for making on a weeknight.

Makes:

6-8 burritos

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, mined
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup salsa of your choice
  • 1 package whole wheat tortillas

  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
