Nutrition Facts: 310 calories, 5 g fat, 2 g saturated fat, 444 mg sodium, 48 g carbs, 8 g fiber, 3 g sugar, 19 g protein
Ingredients
1 14-ounce can pinto beans, low-sodium
3 tablespoons mild salsa
½ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese (We personally prefer to go for a low fat cheese which reduces calories by approximately 25 calories per serving compared to the reduced fat version and also cuts saturated fat)
2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
3 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
8 slices sourdough bread
Instructions
Combine beans and salsa in a medium bowl. Mash the beans with a fork. Once some of the beans start to form a paste (some can remain whole)combine cheese, yogurt, scallions and cilantro in a small bowl.
Prepare a non-stick skillet by spritzing with olive oil and heating until warm.
Spread ⅓ cup of the bean mixture on each of 4 slices of bread. Then add cheese mixture on top. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
Grill the sandwiches in a panini maker or skillet until golden brown, flipping once each side if golden, about 4 minutes. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Serve with a light salad for a healthy lunch!
