Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cooked corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 cup diced bell peppers (a colorful mix of red, yellow, and green)

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

1 ripe avocado, mashed until creamy

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or use a dairy-free alternative)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 cup shredded lettuce or fresh spinach for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, cooked corn, diced bell peppers, finely chopped red onion, minced green chilies, and chopped cilantro. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set the mixture aside.

    Make the Avocado Spread: In a separate bowl, take the ripe avocado and mash it with the freshly squeezed lime juice until smooth and creamy. Incorporate the Greek yogurt into the avocado mixture, stirring until well blended. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place one tortilla on a clean work surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla.

        Add the Filling: Spoon a portion of the vegetable filling into the center of the tortilla. If desired, sprinkle a handful of shredded lettuce or spinach over the filling to add a refreshing crunch.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward to enclose the filling. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upward, securing the filling inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally to create two manageable pieces. For easier handling, especially for lunchboxes, you can secure each wrap with a toothpick or wrap them in parchment paper.

              Storage Tip: If you plan to prepare the wraps in advance, wrap each one tightly in foil or parchment paper and store them in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, making them perfect for meals on the go.
