- 1 tsp olive oil
- â…“ cup white onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 15 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- ¾ cup tomato, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp hot sauce
Wrap Assembly
- 6 large tortillas (burrito size)
- 6 tostadas
- 6 fajita size tortillas (to close the wrap)
- â…“ cup sour cream
- 1½ cup cheese, shredded
- 1½ cup romaine, shredded
- ½ cup salsa (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced thin (optional)
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare bean mixture: Rinse and drain the canned black beans. Chop the onion, jalapeño, and tomato. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, tomatoes, black beans, jalapeños, and hot sauce. Stir well.
- Simmer the mixture: Let the bean mixture simmer together on medium-low heat for a few minutes to combine flavors, then turn the heat off and set aside.
- Assemble the crunch wrap: Lay one large burrito-sized tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spoon a scoop of the black bean mixture in the center, sprinkle with shredded cheese, add sour cream, shredded romaine lettuce, and sliced avocado. Place a tostada on top and gently press down to keep it in place.
- Fold and secure: Place a fajita-sized tortilla on top of the tostada layer. Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla inward around the tostada and fillings, creating a sealed wrap.
- Toast the crunch wrap: Heat a clean skillet or pan over medium heat. Lightly spray or brush the pan with oil. Place the crunch wrap seam-side down first to seal it. Use a plate or bowl to press gently on top while it cooks, ensuring good contact.
- Cook until crispy: Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and sealed. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3 minutes until evenly toasted and crispy.
- Repeat and serve: Repeat the assembly and cooking process for remaining wraps. Serve warm topped with optional salsa and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Enjoy your satisfying Black Bean Crunch Wraps!
Notes
- For extra spice, adjust the amount of jalapeño or hot sauce to taste.
- Optional toppings like salsa, avocado, and cilantro enhance flavor but can be omitted if desired.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Pressing the wrap gently while toasting helps seal it firmly.
- These wraps are best enjoyed immediately for maximum crispiness.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a pan or oven to retain crunch.
