Vegetarian Fajita Wraps

Vegetarian Fajita Wraps

Whether you’re looking for simple lunch recipes, vegetarian lunch, or a light supper, these fajita wraps fit the bill. They’re perfect for when you want to quickly throw something together that’s light yet filling, healthy yet delicious. I make variations on this easy lunch recipe often, sometimes adding chicken or tofu, throwing in some avocado or salsa, or even topping it with cheese and making it a quesadilla. Fresh lime, chopped cilantro, chili peppers and tomatoes would all be great additions as well. The charred sweet peppers and onions work perfectly with the rich, almost creamy black beans and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt brings the whole thing together.

Black beans are high in fiber and protein, so they’ll fill you up and keep you full. Plus they’re a natural energy booster, so are a superfood at lunchtime. This simple method for cooking the black beans yields perfect results every time, so give it a try the next time you’re making them. They make for some pretty mean rice and beans.

    Black beans have such great flavor! And the yellow pepper, in particular, contrasts so nicely with their color. Really colorful dish. The chipotle powder wouldn’t be optional for me! Love the steam in the “action” shot of the beans!

    These look delicious! After living in Brazil for almost six years, black beans make a regular appearance on our family meal rotation. I am not sure I can talk the troops in to fajitas on the first night, but I am certainly going to make them with leftovers! Great idea!
