Black Bean and Hummus Wraps

So this is kinda a take off of what I've already posted, but I've added one more ingredient...

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

Hummus Wraps

I made some hummus the other day for my kids lunch, but I wanted to do something other than just crackers and veggies with it. I was racking my brain as to what I could do with it. I saw that I had some small flour tortillas, then my I was like, hmm, they like refried beans in the tortilla, why not use the hummus and bit of cheese and fry it up!

So that's exactly what I did and held my breath as I tried it. ;) I thought, wow, this is really good! So I served it to all my kids and they LOVED it! They all ate 2 hummus tortillas! Plus the half of a pear I served with it! It's for sure a make again in this house!

Can't wait to try this with different hummus combo's that I make!!!


Place as much hummus as you want on your tortilla

Then add some shredded cheddar cheese, again, as much or as little as you want! I just like the cheese melting out of mine when I make it for me! ;)



Fold up the right side

Then the bottom


Then the left


Then fold the top down


Spread a little bit of coconut oil on the side that has the seams


Place seam side down in frying pan


Then while that side it cooking, spread a little bit of coconut oil on the top
Then flip and cook until cheese is melted or lightly brown!

Serve with whatever else you like! This time I served it with a pear!


The inside...


This is another way you can roll it, and cook the same way!




Hummus Wraps


Tortilla - as many as you want and any kind you want!
Hummus - any kind you want and as much as you want!
Shredded cheddar cheese

Take your tortilla and place a big spoonful of hummus on it. Then put a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll it up, either way the picture shows, then place a bit of coconut oil on one side of the tortilla. Place the oil side down in the frying pan, heat until the tortilla is light brown. Before flipping it over, spread some more coconut oil on the side that's facing up. Then flip it over until the other side is nice and golden brown, and the cheese is nicely melted.
Enjoy!!!

Dried Tomato Hummus

This isn't the first time that I've made hummus....

But, it IS the first time I've made it in my Vitamix!! ;) It can be made in a regular blender or a food processor. I had a very small baby food processor that I used to make it before the Vitamix.

If you like Hummus, then you've got to make it! Not only is it healthier, but it's cheaper!!!

You can also put pretty much anything in this! I am stuck on the dried tomato with garlic right now! The kiddos really like it too!!!

You can also buy cans of garbanzo beans, or you can buy the dried ones and soak them... I haven't tried soaking them yet, but want to try it that way too!



Add all ingredients to blender and blend until the consistency you want!


Viola! All done!


Sooooo good!!! :D

Dried Tomato and Garlic Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans, half of the juice still in can
1 -2 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder (you don't have to add this if you don't want too)
5 dried tomatoes (I just bought a small jar of it and dig out a few of them! You can add more of less!)

Add all ingredients into blender and blend until the consistency you want. Just add a bit of water if you need it a bit more thin.

Serve with crackers, veggies, chips, or on a tortilla!
