Save to Pinterest A fun, customizable baked tortilla wrap filled with creamy beans and melty cheese—perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or snack.
I first tried this tortilla wrap hack on a lazy Saturday when we craved something warm and filling without much fuss. It quickly became a household favorite, especially because everyone can pick their own fillings for a delicious personalized meal.
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, 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
- Prep the Oven & Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, corn, bell pepper, red onion, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to mix.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Using a knife, make a single cut from the center to the edge, as if slicing one radius.
- Add Fillings & Fold:
- Mentally divide the tortilla into four quarters. Add a portion of the bean mixture to one quarter, cheddar cheese to the next, Monterey Jack to the third, and leave the fourth quarter for additional toppings if desired. Fold the tortilla: starting at the cut, fold the first quarter over the second, then over the third, and finally over the fourth, forming a layered triangle.
- Repeat:
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Bake:
- Place folded wraps on the prepared sheet pan. Lightly brush with oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
