Dietitian's tip: Salsa is very low in calories but can be high in sodium. If you're watching your sodium intake, use low-sodium salsa or garnish instead with pico de gallo — a relish made with chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, cilantro and green onions.

By Mayo Clinic staff
Serves 6

Ingredients

1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed to room temperature
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped green chili peppers
4 green onions, diced
1 tomato, diced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
6 fat-free flour tortillas, 10 inches in diameter
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup salsa

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the black beans, corn, cilantro, chili peppers, onions, tomatoes and garlic. Stir to mix evenly. Microwave on high power for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir and heat again for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat until the mixture is hot.

Place 2 tortillas between paper napkins or paper towels and warm in the microwave for 20 seconds on high. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

To serve, place about 1/2 cup bean mixture on 1 tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons cheese and 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold in the sides and the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
