How to Make Easy Cheesy Bean Burritos Low Fat

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and fully combined.
  6. Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1 large flour tortilla to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute per side, until lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove the tortilla to a plate. Spread 1/8 of the bean mixture evenly across the center.
  9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll up into a burrito.
  10. Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining tortillas (approximately 8-10, depending on size).
