  • 2 tablespoons salsa (shop-bought) (30g)
  • 25g mixed salad leaves

  2. Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.
  3. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the rapeseed oil. Stir in the garlic and add the kidney beans with the black beans and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the water and then add chilli flakes, chopped tomatoes and onion. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then season with a little salt (optional) and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce, stirring occasionally.
  6. Take a clean frying pan and put back on a medium heat. Add each wholemeal wrap for 10-15 seconds on each side, using a tongs to turn them over.
  7. Put on a clean chopping board and add the bean mixture. Grate over the cheese and scatter the spinach on top.
  8. Finish with the salsa. Tuck in the ends and fold into a burrito shape. Cut the black bean burrito in half and arrange on a plate with the salad leaves to serve.
