Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Low-fat refried beans
- 1 cup Cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, salsa verde, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside.
Lightly spray a baking dish with olive oil spray.
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface.
In the center of each tortilla, evenly distribute the brown rice, refried beans, shredded chicken, green onions, and a small portion of the cheese.
Gently fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, forming a burrito.
Place each burrito seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the salsa verde mixture evenly over the top of the burritos, ensuring they are well covered.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the burritos.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat smothered burrito!
