Recipe: Easy And Delicious Bean And Veggie Wraps!

I've been rather MIA this past month or so because I’ve been working on a big project for a conference. Unfortunately, it was rather time consuming.

Today I am posting an easy go to meal. I make this at least once a week, typically a weekend day. It’s so quick and easy and delicious that I sometimes wish I could make it every day.

Ingredients:

4 whole wheat wrap

1/4 cup vegan cheese (I use Daiya)

1 cup spinach

1 1/2 cup black beans (1 can)

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 chili powder

1/4 red pepper flakes

1 tomato sliced

1/2 avocado sliced

1/2 cucumber sliced

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 teaspoons ground flax seed

Directions:

1. Drain the black beans and put them into a small skillet. Put a small amount of water in as well. Then add ground cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes. Sauté on high until beans are well coated with the spices and the water has evaporated.

2. In a larger skillet, place a wrap. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese on the wrap with the spinach on top. Cover and heat on a medium heat until the cheese is melted. Complete for each wrap.

3. In the prepared wrap, place 1/4 of the bean mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the nutritional yeast and 1/4 of the ground flax seed. Then add the tomato, cucumber and avocado and wrap it up!!

Variations: Skip the cheese, don’t heat the spinach, add other greens, chop up some fresh mushrooms, use chopped sweet peppers, or any other vegetable you fancy!
