Ingredients
note: I did NOT include tortillas or add-ons (like cheese, lettuce, tomato) in ingredients for calculation since tortillas range drastically in nutritional info and add-ins are a personal preference. for filling:2 tsp. olive oil2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed1 tsp. chili powder1 tsp. minced chipotle in adobo sauce (I used one pepper with tbsp of sauce for listing -- add more or less pepper to taste)1 tsp. ground cumin¼ tsp. kosher saltDash cayenne pepper1/3 cup water, vegetable broth or chicken broth (assumed water for calorie info)1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed6 tbsp. fresh salsafor serving:6 (9- or 10-inch) flour tortillas, warmedShredded cheeseDiced tomatoesShredded romaine lettuceChopped green onionsLow-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
Directions
To make the bean filling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chili powder, chipotle, cumin, salt and cayenne; stir, cooking just until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the beans and the water or broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the salsa and mash the mixture with a spoon or fork.

Spoon about a third of a cup of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top each serving with a pinch of shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions and sour cream. Roll the tortilla up tightly, burrito style, and serve immediately.

    This was really good-in leiu of adding water I tossed in a can of rotel and added 4 oz of light cream cheese at the end. Makes it creamy enough that you don't need to add sour cream or cheese later. One of my favorites! - 1/22/12
