Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (low sodium)
• 1 cup Low-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Unsalted corn kernels
• 1 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes (diced)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 1 medium Avocado (ripe, mashed)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (low sodium blend, optional for mild spice)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce (shredded)
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted, for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in the lime juice, ground cumin, and chili powder (if using). Stir until smooth to create a simple guacamole.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly warm each tortilla (about 30 seconds per side). This step makes rolling easier.

Step 4

Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture down the center.

Step 5

Add a few spoonfuls of the black bean and corn filling on top of the avocado layer, and then sprinkle some shredded romaine lettuce over the filling.

Step 6

Roll the tortilla tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom up to create the roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 7

Cut each roll in half for easier serving, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of unsalted plain Greek yogurt for dipping, or enjoy as-is.
