12 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup refried beans
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
1 avocado
½ cup fresh prepared salsa
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 lime

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

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

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

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

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