Diabetic Beef Burritos

These diabetic beef burritos are easy to make, and pretty healthy for Mexican food. I'm a sucker for any sort of Mexican dish. So these are fixed a lot at my house!! We always add an extra hot salsa to the mix. What can i say, we are salsa/Tabasco fanatics.

I love that this recipe calls for pinto beans instead of re-fried beans. Pinto beans are chalked full of fiber and protein. The amount of fiber in pinto beans can help regulate your blood sugar; which makes these beans perfect food for diabetics.

Beef and Bean Burritos

Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
1/2 lb beef round steak, cut 1/2" pieces
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can pinto beans - (abt 15 oz), rinsed, drained
1 can diced mild green chilies - (4 oz), drained
1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh cilantro
6 flour tortillas - (6" dia)
2 oz shredded reduced fat Cheddar cheese, abt 1/2 cup

Recipe Instructions:

1. Spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add steak and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes or until steak is cooked to desired doneness.

2. Stir beans, chilies and cilantro into skillet; cook and stir 5 minutes or until heated through.

3. Spoon steak mixture evenly down center of each tortilla; sprinkle cheese evenly over each tortilla. Fold bottom end of tortilla over filling; roll to enclose. Garnish with salsa and nonfat sour cream, if desired.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: Steak plays a supporting role in these easy-to-make burritos. It's the straightforward flavors of cilantro and green chilies that capture the essence of Mexican cuisine.
