Meatless Monday

Spinach & Bean Burrito Wraps not only taste amazing, but they are also packed with tons of nutrients! Each wrap has a whopping 13 grams of protein and weigh in at only 282 calories per wrap. Serves 4-6.
Recipe adapted from skinnyms.com
Ingredients:

  • 6 cups baby spinach, loosely packed 
  • 1/2 can  (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 
  • 1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice or Mexican Rice (following manufacturer's directions on the box) 
  • 3/4 cups chopped romaine heart lettuce 
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, reduced-fat 
  • 3/4 cup chunky salsa or Pico de Gallo 
  • 7 tablespoons Greek yogurt, fat-free 
  • Kosher or sea salt to taste 
  • 4 (8" whole grain) wraps or tortillas 
  • optional 1 cup of corn and 1 cup diced grape tomatoes

Directions:
  • Warm tortillas, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Stack tortillas, wrap in foil, place on a cookie sheet and warm 15 minutes while preparing ingredients. 
  • Place spinach in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, or use a knife to dice leaves. In a large skillet on medium-heat, add black beans and spinach. Heat until spinach is wilted, approximately 3 minutes. 
  • Evenly distribute spinach and bean mixture in the middle of the wraps (leaving about 2" on one end for folding). Top spinach and bean mixture for each wrap with 1/4 cup cooked rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa and Greek yogurt. Fold wraps over to serve.  
Spring
Spring appears in whispers
and hushed tones,
as the bellowing winter
bows away.
Drowsy flowers come to
attention,
waking from their sleep-
yawning;
with heads turned upward towards
the Maestro called Sun-
I watch with anticipation
as...
the concert begins.
