Easy Bean and Rice Wraps #WeekdaySupper

This Easy Rice and Beans Wrap recipe is so deliciously healthy and easy to make that I guarantee you will be blown away.

I blog about beans and rice recipes all of the time because they are  a globe-spanning combination that’s a staple in many cultures: they’re also a yummy, high protein food that prevents heart disease, cancer, diabetes and is low in calories so it keeps your weight in check. Plus they’re a frugal option to support not just your health but your budget too!

Is there anything better?

Before we start cooking, I suggest that you either use up some leftover rice, use microwavable or minute rice to speed up this recipe. The rice does not have to be hot. Now, lets start cooking! Enjoy!

The only cutting/chopping you will need to do:

Then combine ingredients, mix and wrap! Easy peasy! To make this a complete meal, serve it with a nice side salad.
