Black Bean Wraps with Chipotle Tahini Sauce

Step 1

Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of the liquid from the black bean cans when you drain them.  Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil, onion and red pepper.  Mix together and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes.  Next, add in the garlic and jalapeños and cook for another two minutes.

Step 2

Add in the black beans, spices and salt and pepper.  Mix together well and then add in about 1/2 cup of the reserved bean liquid.  Mix again and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.  Let beans cool.

Step 3

Make the tahini sauce.  To a medium sized bowl, add the tahini, lime juice, chipotle peppers and salt. Whisk together and add in some room temperature water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired thickness is reached.  I used about 1/4 cup of water for mine.

Step 4

Assemble your wraps.  You can add any ingredients you like to these black bean wraps.  I like to warm my wrap a little bit to make it easier to roll up.  Add a couple scoops of the black bean mixture to the bottom of the wrap.  Top with mashed avocado, tomato slices, greens and a few spoonfuls of the chipotle tahini sauce.

Step 5

Carefully roll wrap up.  You can put it in a hot pan with some oil for a minute to help seal the bottom of the wrap, if desired.  Cut wrap in half and enjoy!  The wraps can also be dipped into the tahini sauce as you eat them 🙂
