Black Beans!
I had made up a 2 pound bag of beans the other week and mashed them puppy's up and just used them when I needed too!
Which, reminds me, I need to rinse and soak some more tonite before going to bed. I'm going to need them this week!
It's CRAZY how CHEAP a bag of beans are and really how EASY they are to fix! They are all packed proteins and all sorts of good stuff!
Navy Beans and Pinto Beans have 15 grams of PROTEIN in them! Also about 10 grams of fiber in them too! Wow!
Black Beans have 15 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber!
Chick peas (what you use to make hummus) has 14 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber!
This is just to name a few! I mean, you can TOTALLY make a DELISH meal out of beans! I've posted some in here, where you don't need tortillas to make it a dish...
I'm thinkin' a week of just bean recipes should be in order.... I am going to post how much I spent on that one week just by using all bean recipes! For atleast suppers, maybe not lunch, I dunno, will have to see how that plays out... I can't do it the week that my in-laws will be here, he's not a fan of any type of bean... Maybe next week I will do that....? My hubs will be out of town, not that he doesn't like it, but it would be a good week to try it on the kids first! Maybe try to do lunches as well... I am actually getting excited about this one! I mean, seriously!!!
Now granted, not all the prices are going to be the same for you. Be on the look-out for bean week! I'll post in advance and warn y'all that it's coming! I will seriously try and do it next week! ;)
Ok, back to my recipe at hand, yet again, not the first time where I've gone a stray... So sorry... I am tired.. Maybe I shouldn't post when I am tired?
My kids LOVED these just as much as they loved the regular hummus ones! The only thing different, add a layer of black beans! Really, you could add any kind of bean... But like I said, I had made up some black beans already, so that's what I used. And if you are all into the whole color scheme of things, the black looks really good with the light color of the hummus! ;)
Place some hummus on your flour tortilla
Then add your black beans... since I soaked mine and cooked them, they are kinda mashed... but you don't have too!
Just a bit of shredded cheddar cheese on top...
Roll it up... I put a TEENY amount of coconut oil over the top and bottom and fried them up! YUMMY!!!! :)
Here it is! SOOOO good!!! I know, maybe green beans aren't the greatest veggie to eat with the wraps, but that's what my kiddos wanted! (I watch for those frozen veggies that steam in your microwave to go on sale... Then it's a fast veggie that I can add to their lunch! ;))
Black Bean and Hummus Wraps
Ok, you know what, I am not even going to really write this out. I have NO clue the measurements on these items that you need! Because you know what? You can put in how much ever you want!!! It also depends on the size of tortilla you get!
So here's what you need:
Flour tortillas
Black beans, rinsed if you are using them from a can, or if you have a bag of them, make sure you soak them overnite, and then cook until soft...
Hummus (your choice of flavor, etc...)
Shredded cheddar cheese, or Mexican cheese
Take a tortilla, layer a little bit of hummus on it, then a layer of black beans, then your cheese. Roll that bad boy up, fry it up, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. You could even eat it cold if you wanted to! It's however you wish! ;)
ENJOY!!! :D
