Easy crock pot refried beans .....from family recipe, family favorite

Spicy black means, great for nachos, burritos, or just on rice!

A definite staple in our house, with homemade taco seasoning and black beans...major cut in the sodium of store bought items!

Low in fat and high in fiber, these burritos will satisfy your hunger.

Fast, filling and super easy to do. These burritos make a supper spring to life in a matter of minutes. Pair this with Spanish rice, beans, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa, light sour cream and (if you can spare the calories) some homemade guacamole and you have a meal that even a Los Dos Amigos would be proud of! (I use smaller tortillas than what is in this recipe to cut down on calories. It doesn't ruin the taste and it is still filling!)

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

These burritos can be made ahead of time, individually frozen, then heated for a fast meal.

I love eating at Chipotle and even if I get the burrito without the tortilla all of the extras and the serving sizes of everything packs on a lot of calories. While I love the taste of their rice it is not brown rice, which I prefer to use. I also find it much cheaper to make this at home, rather than buying it. I prefer to make my own salsa rather than buying it in a jar. But of course you can substitute if you prefer. But this one tastes great! It is always a hit at cookouts and with my family. My secret ingredients to the beans are thyme and sage. They add so much flavor. I attended a vegetarian cooking class and the instructor talked about adding those two herbs to everything to give a richer and more satisfying taste. This was the first thing that I tried them in and it is delicious. This recipe is not very difficult to make nor is it time consuming. What will take the most time is the rice, which can be made ahead. I am very much an “add a little of this and that” person, so I did find it hard to pin down measurements! Fast Food Category

These are FULL of FLAVOR if this doesnt jump start your metabolism nothing will. I like to make these in advance and freeze them for a quick meal on the go.

This easy and nutritious recipe takes about 10 minutes to throw into the crockpot.

The best burrito filling you'll ever find! Made in the crockpot to save you time!

This is a low sodium, low fat, high protein entree. Best served with salad greens. The directions include my own taco mix which reduces the amount of sodium in the recipe. If you are crunched for time or don't have a spice rack, just buy packaged taco mix. I don't like things hot, so IF YOU LIKE IT HOT, add your favorite reduced sodium SALSA!!

Hearty and healthy bean and vegetable enchiladas

This is a great low-fat option for a cheesy burrito fix. I like to serve it with my Mexican Gravy (posted separately).

Pretty much the easiest taco filling ever. A much healthier substitute for the meat in a standard taco.
