1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion

2 garlic cloves -- minced

3/4 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)

3/4 cup drained canned black beans -- partially mashed

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3/4 cup canned fat-free refried beans

8 (8-inch) flour tortillas

NOTES : " I'm home during the day taking care of Maddie, my 2-year-old, and Nick

who's 4, so I have plenty of time to develop new recipes. My husband, Andy,

likes Mexican food, but I'm not wild about a lot of the ingredients. So these

burritos have a nontraditional filling, and we both can enjoy them. "
