Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat burrito tortillas plus 4 small tortillas (or one large tortilla cut into four equal quarters)
- 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Nacho “Cheese” Sauce
- 2 jalapeños, sliced or chopped
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 avocados, pit removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the jalapeños, dice the grape tomatoes, and dice the yellow onion. Remove pits and cut the avocados into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Crunchwrap Base: Lay one large whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface or plate. Place ¼ cup cooked brown rice in the center of the tortilla.
- Add Black Beans: Evenly distribute ¼ of the rinsed and drained black beans on top of the brown rice.
- Layer Remaining Ingredients: Add ¼ of the nacho ‘cheese’ sauce, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and avocado pieces evenly over the beans and rice.
- Add Small Tortilla Layer: Place a small tortilla or one quarter of an extra-large tortilla directly on top of the layered ingredients to help fold the wrap.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-low heat to prepare for oil-free cooking.
- Cook Crunchwrap: Place the assembled wrap in the pan with the folded side down first to seal the edges. Cook for about 7 minutes until the tortilla is golden brown.
- Flip Carefully: Gently flip the crunchwrap over to cook the other side until golden brown and heated through.
- Repeat: Assemble and cook the remaining three crunchwraps, using different pans if desired to have them all ready simultaneously.
- Keep Warm: Place completed crunchwraps on a baking sheet in a 250°F (120°C) oven to keep warm while finishing others.
- Optional Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the crunchwrap seam side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy and heated through.
- Serve: Serve the crunchwraps with salsa, guacamole, or both for added flavor.
Notes
- Use oil-free cooking to keep the recipe healthy and light.
- Make sure to seal the crunchwrap folds properly while cooking to prevent filling from spilling out.
- The air fryer method offers a quicker and equally delicious alternative to stovetop cooking.
- Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables or add your favorite hot sauce for extra spice.
- Keep wraps warm in the oven set to low heat if preparing multiple servings.
