- Lay a tortilla out, spread sour cream on it, add a scoop of the bean mixture and whichever toppings you like, roll it up. Spray lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.4 large flour tortillas, sour cream, shredded lettuce, shredded pepper jack, black olives, salsa, avocado slices
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lay the wrap seam side down in the pan to grill it until golden brown.
Notes
- Sauté rice and beans in olive oil or butter—add diced onions first for extra flavor.
- Use large flour tortillas and avoid overfilling; go lighter with smaller wraps.
- Mix in shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, Colby Jack, etc.) while heating for a melty filling.
- Use your favorite tortillas - flour, spinach, low carb, etc.
- Wraps are best eaten fresh or within 24 hours—sour cream and avocado don’t hold up well.
- Rice and bean filling can be refrigerated separately for up to 5 days.
