Open Faced Bean Sandwiches

Open Faced Bean Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• Fat Free Refried Beans
• 4 Slices of whole wheat bread, toasted
• A sprinkle of shredded cheddar
• A sprinkle of shredded lettuce (iceberg gives a great crunch, romaine or other leafy lettuces deliver better nutrition – take your pick!)
• Finely diced fresh tomatoes (optional – I have a hard time eating anything without tomatoes…)
• Dash hot sauce (also optional)

Directions:

1. Toast bread slices.  Spread beans liberally (about 2 TBS) over toast.  
2. Sprinkle with cheese and broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and beans are warmed.  
3. Remove promptly from broiler, place on serving plate, and sprinkle shredded lettuce to taste on top.  
4. Serve with a side of fruit.  Hot sauce optional.
