Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup Chopped bell peppers (mixed red, yellow, or green)
- 1 small Diced tomato
- 0.5 cup Sweet corn (cooked or canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plain non-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir well to create a creamy Tex-Mex sauce.
Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the Tex-Mex sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer each tortilla with equal portions of fresh baby spinach, chopped bell peppers, diced tomato, sweet corn, and cooked black beans.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables on each tortilla.
Top the layers with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays in place.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and warmed through.
Remove from heat and let the rolls cool slightly before slicing them into halves or serving whole.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy Low Fat Tex-Mex Rolls!
