Quick and vegetarian low-fat dinner from found ingredients

by Larry Greenly » Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:26 pm

I was roaming around my "pantry" (wish I had one) last night trying to figure out what to make that was easy and quick.

I found a can of Rosarita's jalapeno-flavored refried beans (98% fat free). Aha! I had some corn torillas in the refrigerator.

I brushed a little oil on each side of 5 torillas (less than a tablespoon total), laid them on a cookie sheet and baked them at 350F for 5 or 10 minutes until they were golden and crispy and a little chewy. Then a dollop of warm refried beans, some shredded cheese, chopped onion and tomato, and lettuce strips. A side of hot salsa.

Accompanied by lots of rice and some pickled jalapenos, it was a delicious low-fat and not-too-high calorie meal. I'm definitely going to do the oven thing again instead of frying the tortillas.

My problem would have been the cheese. I never can seem to just use "enough".... I love love love it and pile it on! :oops:
