Introduction

These melting chilli bean wraps are a quick and delicious meal perfect for any day of the week. Filled with spicy beans, fresh tomatoes, and gooey cheddar, they offer a satisfying combination of flavors and textures. Serve them with guacamole for an added creamy touch.

The image shows a close-up of a white tortilla wrap laid flat on a white marbled surface with three layers: the bottom soft and smooth pale beige tortilla, a middle layer of dark red kidney beans mixed with small bits of cooked vegetables, and a top layer of finely shredded pale yellow cheese scattered evenly. Nearby, a white cheese grater with some grated cheese around it sits next to a small white bowl filled with light green creamy guacamole. In the background, two folded tortilla wraps are filled with the same ingredients visible from the open ends. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

410g tin mixed beans in chilli sauce
Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
4 tortilla wraps
2 handfuls grated mature cheddar
Ready-made guacamole, to serve

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the grill to high. Empty the mixed beans into a pan and stir in the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the tomatoes to soften slightly.
Step 2: Divide the bean and tomato mixture evenly between the tortilla wraps. Sprinkle a small handful of grated cheddar over the filling, then carefully roll up each wrap.
Step 3: Place the rolled wraps onto a baking sheet. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top of each wrap, then grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Step 4: Serve the hot, cheesy wraps immediately with ready-made guacamole on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a pinch of chilli flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the bean mixture before cooking.
Swap mature cheddar for a melting cheese like mozzarella if you prefer a milder flavor and stretchier cheese pull.
Add some chopped fresh coriander or a squeeze of lime juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or under the grill to keep the cheese melted and the wrap crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible to maintain texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a white tortilla flat on a white marbled surface, topped with a layer of dark red beans mixed with small pieces of vegetables, followed by a thin layer of shredded pale yellow cheese sprinkled on top. Behind the tortilla, there is a white bowl filled with creamy green guacamole. Next to this bowl, a metal grater holds some more shredded cheese, with a small pile of cheese beside it. In the background, two rolled burritos wrapped in white tortillas are placed on the white marbled surface, with their open ends showing similar beans and cheese filling inside.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the bean mixture in advance and assemble the wraps just before grilling to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.

What can I use instead of guacamole?

If you don’t have guacamole, sour cream or a simple yogurt dip with a squeeze of lime works well as a creamy, cooling accompaniment.
