Edam & veggie bean wraps
Children will love to make these simple Dutch Edam and bean wraps. They are perfect for lunch boxes or for a picnic and also make a great cold meal for kids.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes
What you need:
- 1 small red pepper, deseeded and diced
- 1 x 160g can sweetcorn kernels, drained
- 1 x 420g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed
- 90ml (6tbsp) ready prepared tomato salsa
- 6 soft flour tortillas
- 125g (4oz) shredded iceberg lettuce
- 125g (4oz) Edam wedge, cut into cubes or grated
- 60ml (4tbsp) low-fat Greek style yogurt
What you do:
- In a large bowl, mix together the red pepper, sweetcorn and mixed beans with the tomato salsa.
- Place a flour tortilla on a chopping board and arrange some of the lettuce over the base of the tortilla. Spoon some of the bean mixture down the centre of the tortilla, then top with a handful of the grated Edam. Spoon 15ml (1tbsp) of the yogurt over the top.
- Carefully roll up the tortilla, tucking the ends in as you go, to encase the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Cook's tip: You can make these wraps in advance, just wrap in cling film and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Alternatively you could replace the tomato salsa for the same quantity of prepared barbecue sauce.
