Expert Tips

This lighter version of refried bean roll-ups shaves off 70 calories and 7 grams of fat from each serving of the regular recipe.

Traditional refried beans are prepared much like their name suggests. Cooked beans are mashed and fried, often in lard. Check your grocery aisle for equally tasty fat-free refried beans.

If you like your tacos "loaded," then load these up, too! Bulk them up in colorful, delicious style with chopped or sliced jalapeños, sliced ripe or green olives, chopped tomato or chopped bell pepper.

The is no greater shame than to go on a cooking websight and look up how to make "refried beans" and the recipe calls for a "CAN of refried beans." Have you lost your minds? Do you think that's a recipe? What planet is Betty Crocker from? The planet, LAZY? Lacking Aprons, Zeal and Yeast!

A huge hit. I made a double batch and they lasted for lunch and dinner. However, they were gone in a day. Super easy and healthy, especially with Whole Wheat tortillas & Fat Free Sour Cream. The Lettuce is easily substituded with Raw Spinach. I advise to adding your own home-made Taco Seasoning for that extra kick.
