Pumpkin and Black Bean Burrito

Make 7 Burritos

Each burrito has 216 calories, 7.3 grams fat, 14.4 grams fiber, 31.5 grams total carbs, 10.5 grams protein if you use the same ingredients that I did.

Ingredients (I have included total cal/fat/fiber/carb/protein for comparison of ingredients)

1 cup chopped pumpkin (49/0/3/12/2) roasted in

1 tbsp olive oil (119/14/0/0/0) and some garlic and rosemary

1 can of kidney beans, rinsed (350/1.75/21/80.5/24.5)

1/2 cup Sargento Shredded Mexican Cheese Medley (220/18/0/2/12)

Tobasco sauce, to taste

Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Seasoning, to taste

Ancho Chili Powder, to taste

Garlic Salt, to taste

Seasoning Salt, to taste

7 Misson Carb Balance Soft Taco Tortillas (110/2.5/11/18/5 EACH TORTILLA)

Steps:

1. Mash roasted pumpkin and beans with seasonings to taste.

2. Gently heat tortillas in microwave for 10seconds or so until pliable.

3. Fill each tortilla with mashed filling and a sprinkle of cheese.

4. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and place burritos with fold side down. Spray the top of the burritos and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.

I baked them about 10 minutes until lightly crunchy and then wrapped them and froze most of them for later. These aren't huge burritos but they are filling, especially with a side of fruit or veggies. Perfect post-workout mini meal!

Disclaimer:

I get asked by readers if I am being paid to push products. The simple answer is no. In fact, most of the products I write about are ones I have found and purchased during my trips to the grocery store or on the road. Occasionally, a company will send a sample my way and if I believe the product will serve a need for my readers and I would buy the product myself, then I will share it with you. Sometimes I will write to a company after reading about it, if I believe it will help us lead healthier lifestyles. But even then, if the product doesn't pass my scrutiny, it won't make the screen of Uncovering Food. You can trust that every product or recipe posted here has passed through my lips, and that I wouldn't blog about it if it wasn't worthy of you... my favorite readers.
