Chinese Vegetable wraps with black beans

This recipe is one of the best examples of always making a little more of one dish, gives you the opportunity for creating another delicious meal from a tasty leftover.

Here using the refrigerated, refried bean sauce as a spread for wraps or tortillas.

Ingredients

• 1-2 tortillas or wraps per person
• Chinese bean sauce~ see recipe 2 Main courses section
• Any leftover stir-fry of vegetables or broccoli salad as appropriate
• Some shredded cabbage or red pepper for extra crunch
• 1 avocado
• 1 lemon into juice
• Salt and pepper
• A small piece of fresh chili or some dried chili
• 1 small tub sour cream
• Half bunch of coriander~ washed and chopped
• Salt and pepper

Method

• Mash the avocado with the chilli, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
• Shred the cabbage and or finely slice the peppers.
• Lay the tortillas or wraps onto a suitable surface. Spread a strip of bean sauce down the middle, place the vegetables on top, spoon some of the avocado evenly down the centre, sprinkling on the coriander.
• Take one end and fold it in half, feel where the filling is and tuck the tortilla in tightly against it. Then roll the whole thing up and slice in two, place onto a serving dish and finish the others. Enjoy!

Leftovers:

The rolls can also be sliced into bite size pieces and served as canapés, especially delicious, dipped in a little tomato and chilli mayonnaise. So any not consumed for lunch in my house would definitely get eaten as nibbles with drinks before supper.
