MEXICAN CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan, tip in the onion and fry for 5 mins until golden. Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika and oregano and cook for 2 mins. Tip in the beans and the chicken and heat through, then stir in the chilli, tomatoes and coriander, season and keep warm.
• Lay a tortilla in a non-stick pan, sprinkle with cheese and heat until melted. Slide the wrap onto a board, spoon over a quarter of the chicken filling and roll up tightly. Repeat to make three more wraps. Mix the yogurt and chipotle sauce and serve on the side with guacamole and lime wedges for squeezing over.

BLACK BEAN VEGGIE WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Heat fry pan on med.
• Heat with oil or spray.
• Add red pepper, onion, zucchini and garlic; cook about five minutes.
• Add Italian spice and mix; cook another minute.
• Meanwhile, mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher (I'm sure there are other things you could use, if you don't have a masher!); add corn & cooked veggies.
• Spoon the mixture into the tortillas, wrap up, and bake on a cookie sheet for about 10-12 minutes; the tortillas will brown slightly.
• Serve with low fat sour cream!
• So healthy, so yummy.
• Word of warning--let them cool down a bit!
• These are also easy to take to work and reheat.
• Enjoy.
