1 cup chunky bottled salsa

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

6 (10-inch) flour tortillas

Preparation

Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.

Spread 1 tablespoon bean dip over each tortilla; top each tortilla with 1/4 cup rice, 1/3 cup black bean mixture, 2 tablespoons cheese, 1 avocado slice, and 2 cilantro sprigs; roll up. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
