  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 10 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches), warmed
  • optional: sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and reduced-fat sour cream

Directions:

  • Mash half of the beans; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, saute onion and red pepper in oil until tender. Add the pineapple, salsa, chiles, mashed beans and remaining beans; heat through. Stir in cilantro.
