  • Nutrient-Dense: Black beans and avocado provide a great protein and healthy fat boost.
  • Versatile: Customize with your favorite veggies and sauces.
  • 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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
