Delicious Black Bean Wrap

Do you like food? I do. I usually pick the better protein and low carbonhydrates.
This black bean wrap has about 447 calories for 6 inch tortilla. So, if you take a half, it will be a half of 447 calories. It also has 13 grams of protein and 83 grams of carbohydrates. That is okay, but you need to focus more protein through out the day.

Here is what you need:
1 TBLS- extra virgin olive oil
half onion- finely chopped
one clove of garlic- finely chopped
2 cups of black beans- drained and rinsed
2 plum of tomatoes- diced
2 pinches of black pepper
1 TBLS of chopped of fresh parsley and little bit of cilantro
2 by 6 whole wheat tortillas or wraps

Optional:
red leaf lettuce
guacamole
fat free sour cream

Directions:
Heat the olives in a saute pan. Add the onions and garlic. Cook about 2 minutes on medium heat. Add the beans, mix well. Add the tomatoes. Cook for about five minutes and then add pepper and parsley. Mix well. Set aside and allow to let it cool for five minutes. Divide the beans in half and place one half in a blender or food processor and blend till smooth. Lay the tortillas flat and place the beans in the middle of each, dividing evenly between the two tortillas. The top remaining beans. If you like spicy foods, you can add hot peppers to it or fat free cheese. Fold the tortillas and cut it in a half.

My mom usually makes this from time to time. It is delicious. It is fast and easy. Let me know what you think. Thanks! I will talk to you later.
