Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
-
In a bowl, combine the fat-free refried beans with salsa or water. Mix well until smooth.
-
Spread about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture thinly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
-
Sprinkle chopped tomato, green onions, green bell pepper, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the bean mixture on each tortilla.
-
Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the burritos and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
-
Alternatively, cover the burritos with waxed paper and microwave on medium-high power for 2 to 4 minutes, or until heated through.
-
Serve the burritos on a bed of shredded lettuce.
-
Pass salsa or taco sauce and low-fat sour cream or yogurt on the side for added flavor.

For a vegan option, use a vegan cheese alternative instead of mozzarella.
You can customize the fillings with additional vegetables like corn, black beans, or avocado for extra nutrition.
