Baked Black Bean Burritos

I used About.com Guide Fiona Haynes' fat free black bean dip recipe to make this, but you could use jarred black bean dip if you're short on time or ingredients. The cilantro and lime juice enhance the flavor, but are optional.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 6 soft taco size flour tortillas (6-inch)
• 1 ½ cup fat-free bean dip
• 1 cup monterrey jack cheese, shredded
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tsp. fresh lime juice (optional)

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet or pan with aluminum foil.
3. Combine salsa, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl and set aside.
4. Wrap tortillas in paper towel and microwave about 20 seconds to soften.
5. Add about 2 Tbsp. each of the bean dip and cheese into each tortilla.
6. Spread some lettuce across the inside of each tortilla and roll up to close.
7. Spoon a small amount of salsa over each.
8. Bake about 10 minutes.

Serve with remaining salsa on the side.
