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.

Ingredients

1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
4 whole-wheat tortillas, warmed (see Tip)
⅛ tsp. garlic powder
½ cup prepared salsa
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1 tbsp. chopped pickled jalapenos
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup refried beans
12 ounces 93%-lean ground beef

Method

01

Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
02

Gently combine ground beef, beans, cilantro and jalapenos in a medium bowl (do not overmix). Shape into four 5-by-2-inch oblong patties and place on the prepared pan.
03

Broil the patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, 12 to 14 minutes.
04

Meanwhile, mash together avocado, salsa and garlic powder in a small bowl.
05

Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread each with the guacamole, then sprinkle with lettuce and cheese. Top each with a burger and roll into a wrap. Serve immediately, with lime wedges.
06

Tip: To warm tortillas: Wrap in foil; bake at 300°F until steaming, about 5 minutes. Or wrap in barely damp paper towels and microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds.
