Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat burrito tortillas plus 4 small tortillas (or one large tortilla cut into four quarters)
- 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Nacho “Cheese” Sauce
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 avocados, pit removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 jalapeños, sliced or diced as preferred
Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Chop the yellow onion, grape tomatoes, jalapeños, and dice the avocados into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Assemble base: Lay one large whole wheat tortilla flat on a plate or work surface.
- Add rice: Place 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice directly in the center of the tortilla.
- Add beans: Spoon 1/4 of the drained black beans on top of the brown rice.
- Add remaining fillings: Distribute 1/4 of the jalapeños, diced tomatoes, onions, avocado pieces, and Nacho “Cheese” Sauce evenly over the beans and rice.
- Layer small tortilla: Place a small tortilla or one quarter of an extra-large tortilla over the center of the filled large tortilla to help hold the fillings in place.
- Preheat pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat; no oil is needed for cooking.
- Seal and cook: Place the assembled crunchwrap seam side down on the pan to seal the folds. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and brown other side: Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook the other side until golden brown and heated through.
- Repeat: Prepare and cook the remaining three crunchwraps. To keep cooked crunchwraps warm, place them on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven as you finish the rest.
- Alternative air fryer method: Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Place each assembled crunchwrap seam side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Serve: Serve the Crunchwraps hot with salsa, guacamole, or both as desired.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to avoid adding oil and to ensure even browning.
- If using one large tortilla cut into quarters for the small tortilla layer, be sure to place it seam side down to properly seal fillings.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity or omit for milder flavor.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on stove and pan; watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Air-frying is a quicker alternative and can produce a crispier texture.
