Bean and Cheese Burrito with Herby Yogurt Dipper
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas, burrito size
- 2 cans refried beans
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 3 scallions, sliced
- ¼ cup parsley, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, scallions, parsley, lime juice, salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat your refried beans in a small pot on the stove over medium heat until warmed through. Warm tortillas in the microwave for ten seconds. Lay out your tortillas, layer up refried beans, followed by mozzarella cheese. Roll up your burrito by folding in the sides first and then rolling from the front to back like a log. In a large, dry saute pan heated over medium heat, place your burrito and toast on both sides until golden and crispy. Serve with the herby yogurt dipper and diced tomatoes seasoned with salt and pepper.
