Black Bean and Avocado Wraps
Description
The recipe prepares the beans by sautéing onion, optional bell pepper, and garlic in neutral oil until tender, then adding drained black beans and taco seasoning to infuse flavor. Once cooked and slightly cooled, this mixture serves as the filling's base.
Separately, the avocado salsa blends avocado chunks with tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper, providing a creamy, tangy contrast to the savory bean filling. Tortillas are spread with sour cream or mayonnaise before layering on the bean and avocado mixtures, then wrapped to serve.
The wraps balance warm and cool elements, with the soft avocado salsa complementing the heartiness of the black beans. The taco seasoning adds a familiar southwestern spice profile without overwhelming the fresh flavors.
