Spicy Bean Mini-Wraps Recipe

Preparation time:

20 minutes

Cooling time:

4 hours

Makes:

12-14 mini-wraps

Ingredients:

75g cream cheese or vegan cream cheese

3 tsp dried chives

2 x 25cm tortilla wraps

400g tin of kidney beans, drained

1 small clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tbsp tomato purée

Method:

Step 1: Using a fork, mix the cream cheese and chives together in a small bowl.
Step 2: Place the two tortilla wraps side by side on a flat surface. Spread the cream cheese and chive mixture on the two tortillas, dividing the mixture evenly.
Step 3: Pour the kidney beans into a sieve and rinse well. Transfer the beans to a medium mixing bowl and slightly mash them with the remaining ingredients.
Step 4: Again dividing evenly, spread this mixture on top of the cream cheese and chives, leaving a gap of approximately 2cm at the top end of each wrap. Roll the tortilla in a sausage shape, starting from the bottom and rolling toward the gap at the top.
Step 5: Wrap each tortilla in cling film, twisting the ends of the film tightly and refrigerate for four hours.
Step 6: Remove the cling film and slice into six or seven even rounds.
