HEALTHY RECIPES

Black Bean Wraps

4/6/2013

I actually prefer this over brown rice and it makes a darn good wrap.  The recipe calls for 12, 8 in reduced fat flour tortillas (consider whole wheat or corn).  Brown rice is the healthier choice of course.  Either way, serve with a side of broccoli and make an already healthy meal healthier.  I have skipped the bell pepper simply because I did not have any on hand and it still tastes delicious!  Improvise.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 green bell peppers diced (about 2 cups)
  • 3 garlic gloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons each: dried oregano and ground cumin
  • 2 (10 ounce) cans of tomatoes with green chiles
  • 2 (151/2-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
         salt and pepper to taste
        12, 8-inch fat-free or reduced fat tortillas 

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add bell peppers, garlic, oregano and cumin.  Cook and stir until softened, about 4-5 minutes.  Add tomatoes, beans and vinegar.  Cook until thickened, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Mash some of the beans with the back side of a large spoon.  Heat tortillas, spoon in filling, wrap and serve.  

Try the over brown rice option too.  Slice fresh avocado on top!
