Save A fun, customizable baked tortilla wrap filled with creamy beans and melty cheese is perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or snack. This Tex-Mex inspired dish is vegetarian-friendly and easy to personalize for any taste.
I first tried this tortilla wrap hack when I needed a speedy dinner on a busy weeknight, and it instantly became a go-to in our kitchen. Each time, we swap out beans or cheeses to keep things fun and fresh.
Ingredients
- Tortillas & Fillings: 4 large flour tortillas, 1 1/2 cups canned black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned), 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- Seasonings: 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
- Toppings (optional): 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 avocado (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare Oven:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Make Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine black beans, corn, bell pepper, red onion, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to mix.
- Prepare Tortilla:
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Using a knife, make a single cut from the center to the edge (like slicing one radius).
- Assemble Fillings:
- Mentally divide tortilla into four quarters. Add bean mixture to one, cheddar cheese to another, Monterey Jack to the third, and leave the fourth for optional toppings if desired.
- Fold and Layer:
- Starting at the cut, fold the first quarter over the second, then the third, and finally over the fourth to form a layered triangle.
- Repeat & Bake:
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Place folded wraps on sheet pan and lightly brush with oil or spray.
- Bake Wraps:
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
Save My family loves when we gather to fill and fold our own wraps together, making each one just a little different with toppings. It's a fun way to get everyone involved in the kitchen!
