INGREDIENTS

Flour a medium bowl. To prepare dough, whisk 2 tsp oil and 100ml water into flour with a cutlery knife. Trim a dough ball and wrap in a tea towel. Set aside.

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Over medium heat, heat oil and peppers in a large non-stick pan to prepare the beans. Simmer 10 minutes covered, stirring occasionally. Add bouillon powder after spices and garlic. 

STEP 2

Drain one can of black beans and add it, then the other and its liquid. Cook and whisk for a few minutes to reduce mixture. To thicken, mash beans twice with a wooden spoon.

STEP 3

Passata, chopped tomatoes, bay, chilli flakes (if used), garlic, and 2 tbsp water cook in a small skillet over low heat for 5 minutes to make the sauce. 

STEP 4

Reserve all guacamole ingredients (or half for the vegan Healthy Diet Plan).

STEP 5

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Heat a big non-stick dry frying pan on medium. Roll one dough quarter into a 21cm circle on lightly floured surface. 

STEP 6

Carefully place in the frying pan and cook for 1 minute, then flip and cook for a few seconds until cooked through and golden. Make four wraps with leftover dough.

STEP 7

Place a quarter of the bean mixture in the middle of each wrap, twist it, and place in a shallow ovenproof dish. 

STEP 8

Place a second wrap next to the first and the remaining filled wraps in a shallow ovenproof dish. Wrap dishes with foil and tomato sauce. After 15 minutes, uncover and bake 5 more minutes until crisp.
