Why Choose These Burrito Wraps?
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s talk about why these burrito wraps are a fantastic choice for your lunchtime delight:
- Protein Power: Loaded with black beans, hummus, and optional protein sources like chicken or ground beef, these wraps provide a hearty dose of protein. Protein is essential for muscle repair, metabolism support, and feeling full and satisfied.

- Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare a batch of these burrito wraps in advance for easy grab-and-go lunches. Simply reheat them when it’s time to eat, saving you both time and money.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ tsp each of cumin, garlic powder, and salt
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 8 oz. (225 g) sliced mushrooms
- 1 can of corn
- 8 oz (225 g) your favorite hummus
- 4 large wraps or tortillas
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 handfuls washed fresh spinach
- Optional: Goat cheese, crumbled
- Optional: 8 oz (225 g) cooked shredded chicken breast or ground beef
- Optional: Guacamole and/or salsa for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF/220ºC. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and set it aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it softens and becomes translucent. Stir in the cumin, garlic powder, and salt, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. Then, add the red bell pepper and sauté until it starts to soften.
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms and corn, continuing to cook until the mushrooms begin to soften.
- Lay out your wraps and spread a generous layer of hummus onto each one. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture, black beans, fresh spinach, and any optional ingredients you desire. Roll them up into delicious burritos.
- Place your burritos seam side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until they’re heated through and slightly crispy.
- Serve your burrito wraps immediately, garnished with guacamole and salsa if you prefer. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, covered, and easily reheated.
