Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for dressing)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside for flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro. Gently toss all ingredients with a salad spatula or spoon until evenly mixed and colorful.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface or plate. Spoon approximately one-quarter of the veggie filling into the center of the tortilla. Drizzle about a tablespoon of the prepared dressing over the veggie mixture for extra flavor.

        Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla to secure the filling, and then roll the tortilla up from the bottom to the top, creating a snug package. Ensure that the filling is well enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Toast (Optional): For a delightful crunch, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, enhancing their texture.

            Serve: Utilize a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side for dipping, allowing for personalized flavor enhancement.
