Ingredients
170
g
soy veggie ground
2
tbsp
Mexican-inspired spice mix
6
large
(25 cm) tortilla wrap
555
g
refried beans
2
red bell pepper , diced
2
stalk green onion , thinly sliced
176
g
canned corn , drained
½
cup
fresh cilantro
½
cup
sliced black olives
½
cup
pickled jalapeno slices
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 180°C
To a bowl, add the soy veggie ground and spice mix and stir to combine.
Take a wrap, and top it with a heaping ⅓ cup of refried beans , spreading it out over half the wrap. Sprinkle overtop of this about a ¼ cup of the soy veggie ground mix.
Continue to add to the wraps the remaining ingredients, to your liking: bell pepper , scallions , corn , cilantro , olives , and jalapeños.
Fold in each side of the wrap, then roll, starting from the closest edge, until the wrap is closed. Place seam-side down on a baking tray.
Repeat with the remaining wraps.
Bake in the oven on the centre rack for 7-10 minutes , until the wraps are lightly golden. If after 10 minutes they are not golden enough to your liking, turn on the broiler and grill them for a minute. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn in that time.
Allow the wraps to cool to room temperature before wrapping them in parchment paper and freezing.
To reheat, remove from the freezer and thaw in your lunch bag or the fridge until you are ready to eat. A thawed or slightly thawed wrap will reheat faster than a frozen solid wrap. Use the microwave on a thawing mode for 2 minutes , flip and heat for another minute. Continue to heat at 30-second intervals until the wrap is heated through. Alternatively, toast in the oven at 200°C for 5 minutes , flipping at the halfway mark, adding extra time if needed. For stovetop reheating, place a medium non-stick pan on medium-high heat and place the wrap in the pan. Heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the sides are toasted and the wrap is heated through.
Top with desired garnishes like salsa, guacamole, avocado slices, or hot sauce. Enjoy!
