Cheesey Bean Wraps with a Kick of Spice

An easy, but delicious filling for tortillas with a kick of spice. Free printable recipe.


HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS


I recently learned how to make my own flour tortillas, using a kit I got from Mexgrocer.

I used a press, but you can just roll them out thinly.

They are really quick and easy to make.

I use tortillas quite a lot for lunch wraps and serve them with my veggie chilli, but the first thing I wanted to make when I made my own tortillas was cheesey bean wraps.

You see I've been craving them for a while.

Tesco used to sell a 3 Bean Wrap that I loved, in fact the only Tesco sandwich that was worth buying.

Of course, because I loved it so much, it was discontinued a bit like the roasted vegetables on sun-dried tomato bread and the mushroom and horseradish, which were glorious sandwiches.

I don't know why Tesco persist in selling such foul sandwiches when they got it so right with these.

MAKE IT SPICY


The original 3 Bean Wrap wasn't spicy, but I wanted mine to have a kick, so I added some Smoked Chilli Paste to my mayonnaise.

I picked up a sample jar of this gorgeous paste when I was down in London at Food Blogger Connect in July.

This stuff is gorgeous! 

The paste can be added to so many dishes and they also sell a spicy mayonnaise and spicy honey which I also loved.

I've just found out you can buy it on Amazon, but you could just add your favourite spices.

My wraps were delicious!

  1. I love bean wraps. I haven't tried making my own tortillas but there is an uncooked type I love to bring home from the States.

  4. I love the little panda bears!

    I agree with you on sandwiches, the ones I like always disappear, leaving behind just cheese and onion or egg mayo. Uninspiring and not all that tasty.

    I also really liked Cauldron's aduki bean kievs and they are no more.

    1. I bet those kievs were fab Laura, I would have tried those. It's so annoying when good ranges disappear.
