There is a lot of room to play with this recipe. You can use all egg whites if you prefer, low-fat cheddar if you can find it, or other low-fat cheese. Add veggies you enjoy, eliminate ones you don't. I love the beans in the recipe, myself. Adds fiber and iron and taste great! You could add jalapenos, southwest seasonings, etc. to your liking. Mix it up and enjoy!

SP_Stepf's Baked Veggie Burritos

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.)Submitted by: STEPFANIER
