corn and bean burritos
1 weight watchers point each
These vegetarian burritos are great and filling as a quick meal. They’re stuffed with a delectable mixture of onions, garlic, cumin, baby spinach, canned tomato sauce, and black beans.
The tortillas are warmed in the microwave, which cuts down on pans and makes cleanup even easier. Right before rolling, the filling is topped with, fresh cilantro, and sour cream as the finishing touches.
If you’re making these burritos ahead, don’t microwave the tortillas in Step 3, and don’t roll the sour cream into the burritos. To reheat, microwave the burritos on High for about 40 seconds, then serve 1⁄2 tablespoon sour cream on the side with each.
