Time 22m

Yield 8 triangles, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 low-fat low-carb whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
2 Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burgers
1/2 cup salsa (I used mango peach for a complimentary sweetness)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (or Monteray or Colby Jack)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves (chopped)
2 tablespoons southwest seasoning (basically garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin)
1 tablespoon Smart Balance light butter spread
4 -6 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat the black bean burgers in the microwave for about two minutes.
  • While the burgers are heating, slice the tortillas in half, set aside, and then place the butter in a small bowl.
  • Remove the burgers from the microwave and insert the butter to melt.
  • Chop up the burgers into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the salsa, cheeses, cilantro, and seasonings and mix them together well.
  • Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of mixture into the center of a tortilla half.
  • Fold one corner of the tortilla over the mixture, then fold the other corner over that one and secure with a toothpick. You'll have a kind of triangle with one pointed edge and opposite of it, a semi-rounded open side.
  • Place the triangles on a baking sheet and brush each with the melted butter.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes, depending on desired crispiness. Cool before serving.
