Butternut Squash Black Bean Wrap

A Butternut Squash Black Bean Wrap is a delicious and nutritious dish typically made by combining roasted or sautéed butternut squash, black beans, and various other ingredients in a tortilla or wrap. It's a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans due to its rich flavors and hearty texture. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 2 cups diced butternut squash
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for roasting

For Assembly:

• Large whole-grain or spinach tortillas or wraps
• Spinach or lettuce leaves
• Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
• Avocado slices (optional)
• Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for a creamy element)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the diced butternut squash with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized. You can also sauté the squash in a pan until it's cooked through and browned if you prefer.
3. While the butternut squash is roasting, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they become tender.
4. Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet along with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cooked butternut squash and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Warm the tortillas or wraps in the oven or microwave according to the package instructions.
6. To assemble, place a few spinach or lettuce leaves on each tortilla. Spoon the butternut squash and black bean mixture on top.
7. If desired, add slices of avocado, salsa, hot sauce, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, securing the filling. Slice the wrap in half diagonally if you prefer, and serve immediately.
