Ingredients:
1 can of fat-free refried beans 4 100% whole wheat tortillas .5 lbs of your pre-prepared protein of choice Regular or low-fat cheddar cheese Seasonings of your choice Greek yogurt or salsa (optional)Instructions:
Pre-prepare a lean protein (chicken, steak, ground turkey). I personally like to use lean ground turkey for these chimichangas. 0.5lb to make 4 chimichangas.1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. Spray a large flat cookie sheet with cooking spray. 3. Heat a can of fat-free refried beans on the stove top in a small pot. Low heat. 4. Lay 4 medium to large 100% whole wheat tortillas on the pre-sprayed pan. 5. Spread the heated beans on each tortilla. They spread easier when warm/hot. 6. Sprinkle the ground turkey evenly on each tortilla. Add regular or low-fat cheddar cheese if you wish. 6. I also season with Flavor God healthy low-sodium seasonings. My favorites for this recipe are Taco Tuesday or Dynamite (if you want spicy). 7. Roll the tortillas up tight. Clean up any extra that falls out off the pan. 8. Lightly spray the tops of the changas before placing in the oven. 9. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are browned. 10. Consider topping with non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Or use your favorite salsa.
