- Portable: Perfect for on-the-go meals or picnics.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, diced
- ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional Add-Ins:
- Vegan sour cream or hummus
- Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
- Nutritional yeast or vegan cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Black Beans:
- In a medium bowl, mash the black beans slightly with a fork. You want them to be creamy but still have some texture. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a good mix!
- Layer the Wrap:
- Lay out your tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the mashed black beans down the center of each tortilla.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens on top of the beans.
- Add the Veggies:
- Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and diced tomato evenly over the greens.
- Sprinkle the corn kernels and chopped cilantro over the veggies for that extra burst of flavor.
- Top with Avocado:
- Add the sliced avocado on top of the veggies. If you’re a fan of creamy wraps, feel free to add a few extra slices!
- Optional Goodies:
- Drizzle some vegan sour cream or hummus over the top for added creaminess.
- If you like a bit of heat, a drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce works wonders.
- Sprinkle some nutritional yeast or vegan cheese if you’re craving that cheesy flavor.
- Wrap It Up:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice the wrap in half if you prefer, or enjoy it whole!
- Serve & Enjoy:
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
Tips for Perfection:
- Make It Ahead: Prepare all the ingredients in advance and store them in separate containers in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble the wraps!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add or swap out veggies based on what you have. Cucumber slices, shredded carrots, or even some sautéed mushrooms can elevate your wrap.
- Add Some Crunch: For an extra crunch, throw in some sliced radishes or a handful of shredded cabbage.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These wraps can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep the avocado separate until you’re ready to eat to prevent browning.
Nutritional Highlights:
- High in Protein: Thanks to black beans, these wraps are a great source of plant-based protein.
- Healthy Fats: Avocado provides heart-healthy fats that keep you full and satisfied.
- Fiber-Rich: Packed with fiber from the beans, veggies, and whole wheat tortillas to support digestion.
