HOW TO MAKE IT
STEP 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked black beans, diced bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
STEP 2
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
STEP 3
To assemble the crunchwraps, place a tortilla on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, add a layer of the black bean mixture, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt.
STEP 4
Fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a hexagonal shape. Press the edges gently to seal.
STEP 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
STEP 6
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
STEP 7
Once cooked, remove the crunchwraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two.
STEP 8
Serve the Spicy Black Bean Crunchwraps with your favorite hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick of flavor.
Bon appétit!
