Mexican Bean Wrap Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Wraps are the easiest and most filling lunch and my favorite is this Mexican Bean Wrap recipe. It has a little bit of everything inside the wrap which makes it healthy and delicious.

Wraps are the easiest way to pack lunch or dinner when traveling. I make wraps once in a while for dinner and experiment with different fillings.

Most of the time it is what I have in hand, but it will always include protein of some kind and few vegetables. I always happen to have canned beans in my pantry and this is how I use them.

When doing this theme of wraps and rolls for Blogging Marathon this month, I wanted to showcase this Mexican bean wrap as it finds its way in my menu at least once in month.

I make it as a wrap or as quesadillas or chimichangas, depending on what my kids want for dinner. I happened to have a couple of avocados in the refrigerator, so made some guacamole to go with it. If n a hurry, you could just slice the avocados and layer them in the wrap instead of making guacamole.

Serve the Bean wraps with some homemade salsa.

Making the wrap –

  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make wrapping easier.
  • Add a heaped tablespoon of guacamole on the center of the tortilla and spread.
  • Next, add a heaped tablespoon (or two) of black bean and vegetable mixture and spread.
  • Next goes the cheese. Now make a burrito style wrap. Start from the bottom and roll the tortilla on the top of the filling making a tight first roll. Now bring the two sides inside and then roll the tortilla to form a tight wrap.
