Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly to remove any excess sodium. Dice the ripe mango and red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the avocado and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, diced mango, and diced red bell pepper. Gently mix these ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Add the lime juice to the bowl with the black bean mixture. This will enhance the flavors and add a zesty kick. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted. This step adds flavor and makes the tortillas easier to wrap.
- Once the tortillas are warmed, place one tortilla on a clean surface or plate. Spoon half of the black bean and mango mixture onto the center of the tortilla, then layer with sliced avocado.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the filling is secured inside. Repeat this process with the second tortilla and the remaining filling.
- After wrapping both tortillas, you can slice them in half for easier handling. Serve immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal.
- Enjoy your delicious Black Bean and Mango Wrap as a nutritious lunch or a light dinner!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Ingredients: Select a perfectly ripe mango that's slightly soft to the touch and a creamy avocado for the best flavor and texture.
- Drain Beans Thoroughly: Rinse and drain black beans completely to prevent a soggy wrap and ensure a clean, fresh taste.
- Warm Tortillas Technique: Briefly heating tortillas makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor. Use a dry skillet and heat for just 30 seconds per side.
- Wrapping Hack: To create a tight, leak-proof wrap, fold in the sides first, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the ingredients as you go.
- Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to add extra protein like grilled chicken or tofu, or sprinkle some fresh cilantro for an additional flavor boost.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These wraps can be prepared in advance and wrapped in foil, making them perfect for on-the-go lunches or picnics.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, enjoy your wrap right after preparation to keep the tortilla crisp and ingredients fresh.
