Category: SANDWICHES

Ingredients
12 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup refried beans
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup prepared salsa
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 whole-wheat tortillas, warmed
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Preparation
1. Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.

2. Gently combine ground beef, beans, cilantro and jalapenos in a medium bowl (do not overmix). Shape into four 5” x 2” oblong patties and place on prepared pan.

3. Broil patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 165 degrees F, 12-14 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, mash together avocado, salsa and garlic powder in a small bowl.

5. Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread each with guacamole, then sprinkle with lettuce and cheese. Top each with a burger and roll into a wrap. Serve immediately, with lime wedges.

Serves 4.
