I love to grill these sandwiches for quick summer meals or impromptu get-togethers around the pool. They're a snap to prepare, and no one ever guesses that they're low fat. —Joan Hallford of North Richland Hills, Texas

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Grill (gas or charcoal)

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fat-free refried beans
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the beans, 2 tablespoons green chilies, onion and salt. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 5-in. patties. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese; fold in half and press edges to seal, forming a half moon.
    If grilling the burgers, coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill burgers, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Serve on tortillas with lettuce, tomato, salsa and remaining chilies. Yield: 8 servings.
