Black Bean Burrito Bake

Serves: 4 (1 burrito each)

1/2 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
1/2 c. sour cream
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c. frozen corn, thawed
4 flour tortillas
3/4 c. salsa
1/2 c. (2 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese

In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 can of green chilies and sour cream. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place 1/2 the can of beans in a food processor or blender; process until finely pureed. Add pureed beans, remaining beans and corn to sour cream mixture. Spoon 1/2 cup of bean mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, with ends tucked in; place seam side down in a greased 9-inch square baking dish. Pour salsa over tortillas; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Tips: My whole family enjoyed this burrito bake and it was easy to put together. To cut down on the fat, use part reduced-fat sour cream and part fat free plain yogurt. I did this since my husband is trying to lose weight and it tasted great. I used 8-inch tortillas so they fit fine in a square pan. If you prefer to use burrito size tortillas, use a 11 x 7 or 13 x 9 pan instead. Make a Mexican rice mix as a side dish and add a salad to complete your meal. I shared this recipe on Kitchen Stewardship's Carnival of Super Foods.
