Spinach & Bean Burrito Wrap


I found this recipe on Pinterest and have been wanting to try it for months and finally made it yesterday! It was just as good as I thought it would be. The recipe, if followed exactly, is only 282 calories per serving (one wrap). It is so filling and tasty! I got it off skinnyms.com which has so many other recipes that I want to try. This one might become a staple in our home.

Ingredients:

  •  6 c. baby spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 c. cooked brown rice or Mexican Rice (this recipe will be on my blog soon)
  • 1/2 c. chopped romaine heart lettuce (I like lettuce so I cut a bit more)
  • 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese, reduced fat (I used regular)
  • 1/2 c. salsa, optional Pico de Gallo 
  • 6 Tbsp. Greek yogurt, fat-free (I prefer sour cream)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 6 8" whole grain wraps or tortillas (I used regular flour tortillas)

Directions:

  1. To warm tortillas, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Stack tortillas, wrap in foil, place on cookie sheet and warm 15 minutes while preparing ingredients.
  2. Place spinach in a food processor (one of the best kitchen helpers!) and pulse until finely chopped, or use a knife to dice leaves.
  3. In a large skillet turn to medium-heat, add black beans and spinach.
  4. Heat until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
  5. Evenly distribute the spinach/bean mixture in the middle of the wraps (leaving about 2" on one end for folding).
  6. Add 1/4 c. rice to each wrap, add lettuce, cheese, salsa, and Greek yogurt evenly over wraps.
  7. Fold wraps over and under on the ends. Stuff your face! (It's also really good cold for leftovers)
