Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread 1/2 cup of low-fat refried beans evenly over each whole wheat tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the beans on each tortilla.
Evenly distribute the finely chopped onion and fresh cilantro among the tortillas, sprinkling them over the cheese.
Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to form burritos. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the burritos with non-stick cooking spray to help them crisp up nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve the burritos warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
