Black Bean Burritos

I wasn't sure how this recipe would turn out, but I tried it anyway and it was absolutely delish! We served Mo's lime grilled shrimp on the side and a big salad with Hallie's Mexican salad dressing. Really yummy meal and healthy, too! Enjoy.

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup frozen corn
3 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 - 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
whole wheat tortillas
Preheat oven to 350. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat until just warm.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, bell pepper, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes for about two minutes. Add black beans and cook for about 5 minutes. Add corn, salt and cream cheese. Stir together until combined and cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in fresh cilantro and serve in warm tortillas.

These sound so good and figure friendly, too. I'll have to give these a try!
