I love to grill these sandwiches for quick summer meals or impromptu get-togethers around the pool. They’re a snap to prepare, and no one ever guesses that they’re low in fat.

START TO FINISH: 25 MIN. • MAKES: 8 SERVINGS
1 cup fat-free refried beans
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained, divided
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
1 cup chopped lettuce
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 cup salsa
1. In a large bowl, combine the beans, 2 tablespoons green chilies, onion and salt. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 5-in. patties. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese; fold in half and press edges to seal, forming a half moon.
2. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub lightly on the grill rack to coat. Grill burgers, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on tortillas with lettuce, tomato, salsa and remaining chilies.
