Mexican Bean Wraps Recipes

MEXICAN CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan, tip in the onion and fry for 5 mins until golden. Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika and oregano and cook for 2 mins. Tip in the beans and the chicken and heat through, then stir in the chilli, tomatoes and coriander, season and keep warm.
• Lay a tortilla in a non-stick pan, sprinkle with cheese and heat until melted. Slide the wrap onto a board, spoon over a quarter of the chicken filling and roll up tightly. Repeat to make three more wraps. Mix the yogurt and chipotle sauce and serve on the side with guacamole and lime wedges for squeezing over.

Add ground turkey and garlic powder; cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, water, green bell pepper, green chiles, and taco seasoning. Mix well. Reduce heat to low and let simmer with the lid on until flavors blend, 10 to 15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, warm the wraps in the microwave on High for 1 min.

COOL MEXICAN BEAN WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/ gas 4. Peel and finely slice the onion, then deseed and slice up the pepper. Coarsely grate the cheese.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat and gently fry the onion for 10 minutes, or until softened.
• Peel and crush the garlic, then add to the pan along with the chilli powder.
• Add the tomato purée and the tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon as you go, then drain and add the kidney beans.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced, then season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
• In a separate pan, fry the pepper in a little oil until starting to soften, then set aside.
• Divide the filling mixture in half, then blitz one half with a stick blender to form a bean paste - if you don't have a stick blender, mash with a potato masher.
• Spread the tortillas with the warm bean paste, then add a serving spoon of the filling and a spoonful of red pepper, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place on greased baking tins.
• Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden and warmed through.
• Dress the salad leaves in a little oil and vinegar, then serve alongside your bean wraps.
