Categories     Entree

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can (8 ounces) kidney beans
1 can (8 ounces) whole kernel corn
1 small bell pepper
1/2 cup chunky-style salsa
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
4 flour tortillas (8 to 10 inches in diameter)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Drain the kidney beans in a strainer, rinse with cool water and place in a bowl. Drain the corn in a strainer.
  • Cut the bell pepper lengthwise in half, and cut out seeds and membrane. Chop enough of the bell pepper to measure 1/4 cup. Wrap and refrigerate any remaining bell pepper.
  • Mix the beans, corn, bell pepper, salsa and cilantro.
  • Place the tortillas on a clean counter or on waxed paper. Spread about 1/2 cup of the bean mixture over each tortilla to within 1 inch of the edge. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each tortilla.
  • Fold opposite sides of each tortilla up toward the center about 1 inch over the filling--the sides will not meet in the center. Roll up tortilla, beginning at one of the open ends. Place wraps, seam sides down, in the microwavable dish.
  • Microwave uncovered on High 1 minute. Rotate dish 1/4 turn. Microwave 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds longer.

EASY SOUTH OF THE BORDER WRAPS



Easy South of the Border Wraps image

The idea came from ... Taco Bell, rice and beans in a tortilla. Friends were coming over and we wanted Mexican so I decided I could probably make it cheaper than taco bell. Bought some cheese and sour cream and presto. Well, mine is a bit different but it turned out really good. It was the start of my clean out the pantry, fridge, and freezer couple of weeks so this was a perfect dish for that. Now, I added 1 very small diced chicken breast to the mix for 4 of the wraps, and the other 4 wraps were just the beans and rice - but either way, they were great. One pan ... just heat - wrap - and serve. Canned beans, frozen or canned corn, leftover white rice (if you don't have left over 1 bag of the "Boil-in-Bag rice" is about the right amount, or just make a quick cup of rice). A jar of chunky salsa (use your favorite brand), shredded Mexican cheese, and just a few fresh vegetables. Besides, you can really get creative with this dish and add jalapenos, cumin or other spices, onion, olives, different beans, roasted peppers, or green chilies, etc. Just have some fun with it. As far as the chicken goes, 1 leftover cooked chicken breast diced, or 1 cup rotisserie chicken works great; or how about pork or even shrimp. Garnish with some sour cream and serve with a corn chowder or even a spicy tomato soup on the side.

Time 20m

Yield 8 Tortillas, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 flour tortillas
2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn, frozen (canned if fine)
1 cup chunky salsa (I love hot, but use your favorite brand and heat level)
1 cup cooked rice (white or yellow rice)
1/2 cup green pepper, fine chopped
4 scallions, diced fine (white and green parts)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, fine diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper
1 cup cooked chicken, diced fine (pork or shrimp would work just as well)
olive
beans (garbanzo, kidney, butter, etc)
jalapeno, minced fine
sour cream

Steps:

  • Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add in the garlic, green pepper and cook just a couple of minutes. Then, add in the scallions, beans, corn, salsa, rice and cilantro. Just cook 4-5 minutes on medium low simmer until heated through. Check for any additional seasoning like salt and pepper if needed.
  • Tortillas -- As you are heating up the filling -- heat up the tortillas. I do this as easy as possible. Wrap 4 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minutes on medium heat. Flip over after 30 seconds. Done.
  • Wraps -- Lay each tortilla out flat and add 1/4 cup of the cheese. Then add the bean filling and wrap. I start at one end and roll, then tuck in each side as you finish rolling them up. There is no real right or wrong procedure for this.
  • Finish -- After the wraps are finished, I like to add them to a serving platter or dish, cover with the same paper towels you originally heated the tortillas in; and back in the microwave for just another minute on medium heat to melt the cheese and to make sure the tortillas and filling are hot.
  • Serve -- Garnish with sour cream on the side; and serve along side a nice bowl or soup or a salad.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the wraps will taste. Fresh, ripe vegetables will provide the most flavor and nutrients.
  • Choose the right tortillas: There are many different types of tortillas available, so choose one that is appropriate for your recipe. Corn tortillas are a good choice for tacos and enchiladas, while flour tortillas are better for burritos and quesadillas.
  • Don't overfill the wraps: It is important to not overfill the wraps, or they will be difficult to fold and eat. A good rule of thumb is to use no more than 1/2 cup of filling per wrap.
  • Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular fillings include grilled chicken, shredded beef, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, and avocado.
  • Be careful not to overcook the wraps: Overcooked wraps will be dry and tough. Cook the wraps just until they are heated through.
