4 8-10 inch torillas (recommend the whole wheat or low carb kind)
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tbsp, rounded, of taco seasoning
1/2 cup Super Soy Ground Beef
1/2 can fat-free refried beans
1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese (may use Montery or other as you like)

Stir taco seasoning into boiling water, then add super soy ground beef. Mix thoroughly and let sit.

Spread 1 tbsp refriend beans on half of each torilla (like peanut butter on bread).
Next spread 1/8 cup of reconstitued super soy ground beef over refried beans.
Follow with 1 tbsp shredded cheese or more to taste.

Fold torilla in half. Heat in non-stick skillet on medium heat till outside of torilla is lightly browned. Then flip and brown other side.

Cut into 3-4 wedges and serve.

Can be served with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole as a Snack, Appetizer, or Pary food. Combine with side of refried beans, rice, or salad for a full meal. This is so simple teens can fix their own snack for a lower-fat alternative to Taco Bell :)

**Simple enough to let the kids "HELP"--spread beans, scoop meat, sprinkle cheese; not recommended to have children participate with cooking on stove.**
