this makes a good burrito filling. Simply spoon the
bean dip inside a warmed tortilla and roll up. For an
even easier bean dip, combine several tablespoons of
salsa with refried beans and serve with tortilla chips.

NOTE: This recipe does not specifically state
using Fat Free Refried Beans, but these are now
available and should probably reduce the fat count to
0. Also, you can now purchase tortilla chips that are
baked and not fried for a greatly reduced fat count.
Not exactly the same as the regular tortilla chips,
but once you try them a few times and think of what
you are saving in fat grams they become increasingly
good. <G> You could make your own tortilla chips using
the No-Fry Tortilla Chips (Diabetic) recipe.
