    I made bean burritos the other night: 400 cals for 1 burrito. Add red kidney beans to a pan with tomato sauce or tomato chunks, red peppers, onions, paprika, a bit of salt. Then add some shreeded cheese and fresh avocado to it in a small tortilla wrap! This recipe is packed with fibre and flavour. Great for when ur craving a taco! :)

    I saw this one while waiting at the doctor's office. I'm going to give it a try.

    Makes 4 Servings

    Ingredients

    4 medium red bell peppers
    2 cups cooked white or brown rice
    One 15-ounce can vegetarian baked beans (undrained)
    1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
    ½ cup salsa
    ½ cup packed fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
    ½ cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
    Cut each bell pepper in half, lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs, leaving the stems intact. Set aside.
    Place the rice, beans, corn, salsa, and cilantro in a large bowl and stir to combine. Fill each of the pepper halves with the rice and bean mixture (a generous ½ cup per pepper half).
    Arrange the peppers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the peppers are tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
