Recipe:
This quick and easy wrap is a delicious and nutritious lunch option for any time. Garlicky black beans, sweet and tropical mango, and creamy avocado pair together perfectly.
Spinach, one of my top ten beauty foods, is full of nutrients to keep eyes clear, bright, and healthy. Mango and avocado contain vitamin E to help keep skin smooth and supple. Plus, this wrap is packed with a whopping 35 grams of satiating fiber to help you stay slim.
Ingredients:
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 small whole wheat carb balance tortillas
1⁄2 cup baby spinach
1⁄4 of a small mango, sliced
1⁄4 of an avocado, sliced
Instructions:
In a medium-sized bowl, mash beans until smooth and stir in garlic powder. Spread half of the beans over each tortilla and then add spinach, mango, and avocado. Roll up the wraps and slice in half if desired.
