Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (low sodium)
- 1 cup Low-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Unsalted corn kernels
- 1 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 1 medium Avocado (ripe, mashed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (low sodium blend, optional for mild spice)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted, for dipping, optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in the lime juice, ground cumin, and chili powder (if using). Stir until smooth to create a simple guacamole.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly warm each tortilla (about 30 seconds per side). This step makes rolling easier.
Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture down the center.
Add a few spoonfuls of the black bean and corn filling on top of the avocado layer, and then sprinkle some shredded romaine lettuce over the filling.
Roll the tortilla tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom up to create the roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Cut each roll in half for easier serving, if desired.
Serve immediately with a side of unsalted plain Greek yogurt for dipping, or enjoy as-is.
