Save 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 when looking for a fuss-free dinner after a busy day. The blend of beans, cheese, and veggies wrapped up and crisped in the oven made it an instant hit at our family table.
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
- Prep the Oven:
- 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.
- Add Fillings:
- 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 Wraps:
- 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.
