Steak plays a supporting role in these easy-to-make burritos. It's the straightforward flavors of cilantro and green chilies that capture the essence of Mexican cuisine.

3
cloves garlic, minced
1

1/4
cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
6
(6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
Salsa and fat-free sour cream (optional)

1.
Spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add steak and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes or until steak is cooked to desired doneness.
2.
Stir beans, chilies and cilantro into skillet; cook and stir 5 minutes or until heated through.
