Directions

  • 1
    In a nonstick pan, sauté the peppers and onion in the canola oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add beans, and stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, then set aside.

    In a small bowl, combine the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder. Reserve half of the mixture for topping.

  • 3
    Add sour cream to beans, and mix well.

  • 4
    Warm tortillas in the microwave or in a pan on the stovetop.

  • 5
    Fill a warmed tortilla with ¼ bean mixture and ¼ avocado mixture. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of salsa over the bean and avocado mixture. Fold ends of the tortilla over, and roll up to make wraps.
