Ingredients

 
* 2 tablespoons fat-free refried beans
 
* 1/8 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, divided
 
* 1-1/2 teaspoons chopped onion
 
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
 
* 3 ounces lean ground beef
 
* 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
 
* 1 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
 
* 2 tablespoons chopped lettuce
 
* 1/8 medium tomato, chopped
 
* 1 tablespoon salsa

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the beans, 2 tablespoons green chilies, onion and salt. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 5-in. patties. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese; fold in half and press edges to seal, forming a half moon.
2. If grilling the burgers, coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill burgers, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Serve on tortillas with lettuce, tomato, salsa and remaining chilies.
