Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat or gluten-free large tortillas
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the rinsed black beans gently with a fork, leaving some texture.
- In another small bowl, whisk together lime juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing.
- Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 of the mashed black beans evenly in the center of each tortilla.
- Layer the carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber slices, baby spinach, and avocado slices on top of the beans.
- Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of the lime-cilantro dressing over the veggies on each wrap.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the filling for added freshness and flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.
- Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil/plastic wrap for meal prep.
Chef tips
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you want to make this wrap gluten-free.
- For added protein, add grilled chicken strips or baked tofu cubes inside the wrap.
- If avocados aren’t in season, substitute with hummus for creaminess.
- The wrap can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; keep it tightly wrapped to prevent sogginess.
Pros
- Loaded with fiber and plant-based protein for a filling meal.
- No cooking required, making it quick and easy.
- Versatile and customizable with a variety of veggies and protein add-ons.
Cons / watch-outs
- Avocado can brown quickly if not consumed fresh.
- May become soggy if stored too long with wet ingredients.
