Refried Bean Crescent Pockets
I should know by now not to make this kind of stuff, it’s a big trigger for me. 
- 1 package of reduced fat crescent rolls
- 1 cup (1/2 can) fat free refried beans
- 1 oz fancy shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp dried cilantro
- Baby spinach leaves
- 1 bell pepper diced (I had about ½ cup leftover from yesterdays dinner)
Roll out the crescent rolls and separate into 4 rectangles. It will stick so use some flour or parchment paper (that’s what I used). Press to seal the seems and flatten them a bit.
In a small bowl, mix the beans, cheese (save a little to top the pockets) and spices.
Lay a few spinach leaves on one side of the 4 crescent rectangles. Evenly daub the bean mixture on top of the spinach leaves. Top with diced peppers.
Fold the crescent over the stuffing making a pocket and sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
Sprinkle the tops with a bit of chili powder and cheese. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
My total estimate is 270 calories, 12 g of fat and 4 g of fiber. I say "total estimate" because I literally calculated it in my head. The site I use is down again.

Roni - I think you just solved the dilema of Day 1 - lunch for the 9yo. This is SO her kind of meal.
This is tonights dinner, I'm really looking forward to it!
Ok this recipe was AMAZING. I added a twist to it though. I sauteed red pepers & red onions in EVOO and addded that on top of the beans( I also added fresh Cilantro to the bean mixtrue). They were so thick and filling my family loved them. i am gointg to be making them again tonight but i am going to use half the beans and add more cheese with the veggies again.
Roni, you rock woman!
