Got this in a supplement to Quick Cooking just last week and tried it yesterday. Tasty and not overly filling!

1/2 black beans, rinsed and drained

2 Tbsp chunky salsa

1 Tbsp green onions, chopped

1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro or parsley

1 medium tomato, chopped

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

2-4 Tbsp butter or margarine

4 7-inch tortillas

Mash beans slightly in a bowl. Add salsa, onions, cilantro. Divide and spread mix over tortillas. Sprinkle with tomato and cheese. Roll up tightly. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add rolled tortillas, seam side down; cook until golden on all sides, adding additional butter if necessary. Serve immediately. Yields 4 servings.

I doubled the recipe and stuffed the tortillas a little more, and got 6 servings. I also added lettuce to the inside. Also I topped mine with a guacamole recipe our nephew concocted (easy and tasty, not filled with extra stuff), while The Cus used sour cream. We had Spanish rice as a side.

Jake's Guacamole

2 ripe avocados, mashed

1/4-1/2 an onion, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix all, and enjoy!
