How to Make Black Bean & Avocado Wraps (Step-by-Step)
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Wash, peel, and slice your veggies. Rinse and drain the black beans. Mash the avocado if preferred for spreadability.
2. Season the Beans
In a small bowl, toss the black beans with lime juice, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro. You can also mash the beans slightly for a thicker texture.
3. Warm the Tortillas
Briefly warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable for wrapping.
4. Assemble Your Wraps
Spread mashed avocado or hummus on the wrap base. Layer with seasoned black beans, onions, bell pepper, carrots, lettuce, and any optional sauces or toppings.
5. Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and slice in half. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would you like the black beans whole or mashed (like a refried bean texture)?
Both are delicious! Whole beans give more texture and bite, while mashed beans offer a creamy, cohesive spread. Choose based on your texture preference.
Do you want to add a dressing or sauce (e.g., chipotle mayo, hummus, or lime crema)?
Yes—adding a sauce elevates the flavor and helps hold everything together. Try hummus for creaminess, chipotle mayo for a spicy kick, or a dairy-free lime crema for zing.
Are you looking for a vegan wrap or okay with cheese or sour cream?
These wraps are naturally vegan, but feel free to add cheese or sour cream if you’re not dairy-free. Vegan cheese and plant-based sour creams also work perfectly.
Do you prefer raw veggies or sautéed (like onions and peppers)?
Raw veggies offer a crisp, refreshing crunch. But sautéing them with olive oil and garlic adds warmth and depth—both are great options depending on your mood!
Would you like this wrap spicy or mild?
Spicy lovers can add jalapeños, hot sauce, or chipotle. For a milder version, skip the heat and focus on herbs and lime juice for bright flavor.
