Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

15 oz black beans (canned, NOT drained)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 sweet potato (large, about 1 pound, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup prepared guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
4 large tortillas
3 cups baby spinach
1 large tomato (thinly sliced)
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients, including the liquid from the beans, into a medium saucepan and simmer on low heat for 5-8 minutes, until warmed through. Drain the beans (don't rinse them though!) and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with the olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes, flip them and roast 10-15 minutes more until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
  • Spread the tortillas with guacamole, leaving a 2-inch border. Divide the spinach, sweet potatoes, black beans, tomato, and onion evenly among all 4 tortillas, piling the toppings in the center of each.
  • To form the wraps, fold two sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly, ending seam side down. Cut in half down the center to serve.

EASY SOUTHWESTERN VEGGIE WRAPS



Easy Southwestern Veggie Wraps image

I developed this recipe when corn was in the farmer's market and big, red, juicy tomatoes were in my garden. To make this wrap light and healthy, I use fat-free sour cream, whole grain tortillas and brown rice. Although it's vegetarian by nature, change it up with a large chicken breast, diced small. -Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois
