- 1 Whole wheat tortillas
- 180 g Black beans
- 150 g Spinach
- 1½ tsp Ground cumin
- ½ Lime
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- 100 g Tomato (optional)
- 60 g Avocado (optional)
- 1 Jalapeno (optional)
- 12 g Cilantro (optional)
Method
- Drain and rinse the black beans. Dice the tomato and jalapeno, slice the avocado, and chop the coriander.
- Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium with the cumin for 30 seconds, then add the beans and crush about half of them against the base with a fork so they bind the rest.
- Add the tomato and spinach and turn through until the spinach collapses and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon, about 3 minutes. Squeeze in the lime off the heat.
- While the beans cook, warm the tortilla in a dry pan for a minute a side until soft and flexible.
- Spoon the beans down the middle of the warm tortilla, add the avocado and coriander, fold the ends in and roll it tight.
- Cut in half and eat while the filling is still hot.
