Not my favorite meal in the world, but it works. I have all the fixins' here at work for my lunch today. Its quick and easy.

I take the refried beans mix in some salsa and microwave. Put some FF cheese in a WW tortilla and plop some of the warm mixture on top. I make 2 for lunch.

Thanks to everyone who posted those suggestions. It is something different and easy.

I had something similar for lunch on Monday. Delish! I only had one, though. I hate the small serving sizes for carbs...but I have to honestly say that with that and a salad, I was actually full.

Did you try it with the refried black beans or the regular refried beans? I like the black beans better. The other ones remind me of a little of dog food

lol!

Oh yeah, refried black beans. And it still reminded me of a Woof Woof meal!!

Oh, boy. Then you'd better not try the other kind. This past weekend, I made some with my food processor and a can of black beans. For some reason the only kind I could find at the 2 stores I went to was the pinto bean variety...thought hmmm, it's just smashed black beans with spices. Can't be that hard. It was pretty good, I didn't smash them all, only about half and left the other half only partly smashed. It seemed to give it a little more texture.

Anyway, think of all that fiber you ate. It's good for you! What was from the Conan movie? "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

Honestly, I think that beans are the food of the angels! I LOVE refried beans...true comfort food for me! I had them in a hot WW tortilla, and just smiled and the comfort it gave me!

Takes all kinds, I guess. Beans don't remind me of dog food at all. Now chili in a can...that does!

You could adapt this to phase one by serving it on a bed of lettuce (like a Wendy's taco salad).

I thought about that when eating my lunch today. Even doing lettuce wraps. I was even thinking I could chop lettuce and put that in my WW tortilla for the greens.

Oh the possibilities!!

Mmmmmmm. This sounds good. I just bought a tortilla press and thought that I would make my own tortillas. This thread is giving me more incentive all the time. Can hardly wait.

Peggy, let me know how that goes...I only know how to make them with masa (corn), not with flour.
