    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.

    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.
