- Tin Black beans (rinsed and drained)

- Tin corn kernels (rinsed and drained)

- Sprinkle of Mexican spices (store bought or DIY)

- Cheese – thinly sliced (e.g. tasty)

Steps

Prepare side dishes – salsa salad, guacamole / sour cream (if using)

Place a wrap in a heated fry pan. Spread cheese slices to cover.
