Ingredients
  

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • cooking spray
  • 1 14.5 ounce can pinto beans, drained
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning I like the Trader Joe’s kind, but use whatever you like or make your own
  • 1/2 cup low fat ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Picante sauce
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

To garnish:

  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 3 cups shredded Romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions
 

  • In a large non stick saute pan, saute the onion over medium heat until lightly brown and soft. Put the cooked onion in the food processor with drained beans, garlic, taco seasoning, Picante sauce, and ricotta cheese. Pulse until it is a chunky puree.

  • To serve, place the corn tortilla on a plate and top with the bean mixture. Add the chopped onion. I like the crunch from the onion.
