Hello there. Today I want to share the weight loss recipes from EatingWell Magazine called Southwestern Beef & Bean Burger Wraps. Well, kids and adults alike will love these quick, zippy burgers. The beans make the burgers a little fragile, so be careful when taking them off the broiler pan. Make it a meal: Serve a green salad and frozen mango slices for dessert.
