Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz can Low sodium black beans
- 2 tablespoons Salt-free taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 4 Whole wheat flour tortillas
- 1 cup Reduced sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 4 Lime wedges
- 0.5 cup Low sodium salsa
Instructions
Open the can of low sodium black beans, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water to further reduce sodium content.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed black beans, salt-free taco seasoning, and water.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the beans are heated through and the water has reduced slightly.
Warm the whole wheat flour tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until warm and pliable.
Lay each tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the seasoned black beans across the center of each tortilla.
Top the beans with a generous sprinkle of reduced sodium shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and slices of avocado to each burrito, distributing evenly.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them tightly from the bottom to form burritos.
To serve, place each burrito on a plate and garnish with lime wedges and a side of low sodium salsa.
