Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 whole wheat tortillas (7-inch)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped, plus more for serving (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup store-bought green salsa, plus more for serving (optional)
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil, place in oven, and warm while preparing the filling.

Bring to a simmer, season with salt and pepper; cook until slightly thickened and hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in salsa (if desired), corn, and lime juice; cook until heated through.
