1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14-oz. can refried beans
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup ripe olives, sliced
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
Hot sauce to taste if desired
1 cup sour cream
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup picante sauce
8 - 10 large flour tortillas

Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add refried beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, olives, parsley and hot sauce and stir thoroughly. Combine sour cream, cheese and picante sauce and set aside. Fill each tortilla with meat mixture and about two tablespoons of the cheese mixture and roll. Make sure you have some of the cheese mixture left over to top the burritos. Place burritos seam side down in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Top with remaining cheese mixture and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

The Skinny: Use low fat ground beef, low fat refried beans, light sour cream and low fat cheese and tortillas.

Fruit Salad

2 avocados, peeled and diced
1 14-oz. can pineapple chunks
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2 naval oranges, peeled and chopped
1 jicama, diced
Juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 tsp. cumin

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. Jicama is a crunchy sweet fruit that has the consistency of water chestnuts. You can usually find them in the produce section of you local grocery store. However, if you cannot find jicama you may use sliced water chestnuts instead. We hope you can find the jicama because it really does have a unique flavor.

The Skinny: Nothing to improve on here.
