Half-mashed white beans make a creamy lemon filling for crisp vegetable wraps.
Ingredients
- Plain flour tortillas (cooked)4 pieces
- White beans (drained)240g
- Cabbage (raw)200g
- Carrots (raw)150g
- Lemon juice (raw)20ml
- Olive oil (raw)10ml
- Salt (dry)3g
- Black pepper (dry)1g
Method
- Drain 240g white beans. Mash half with 20ml lemon juice, 3g salt and 1g black pepper; leave the other half whole for texture. The mash should hold together on a spoon rather than run.
- Heat 10ml olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add all the mashed and whole beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until steaming. If too stiff to spread, stir in a little processing water; if loose, cook uncovered briefly.
- Wash and dry 200g cabbage, then shred into 2mm ribbons. Grate 150g carrots coarsely. Warm 4 pieces plain flour tortillas in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds on each side until supple; check the actual brand ingredients.
- Divide the bean filling and raw vegetables evenly between the warm tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll; add the crunchy vegetables just before serving so they stay crisp.
- The displayed quantities already match your selected servings. For 1 or 2 servings, use a smaller pan and check early; keep the stated cut sizes. For 4 servings use a broad pan or uncrowded trays; for 8 split every ingredient evenly into two 4-serving batches (more if the pan or pot capacity requires it). Keep pans below 80% full and vegetables in one layer when browning. Repeat the cooking and doneness checks for each batch; elapsed time increases for sequential batches. Serve promptly. Cool any extra cooked food in shallow containers and refrigerate within two hours, or one hour above 32°C. Keep the fridge at 4°C or below. Reheat cooked leftovers evenly to 74°C, checking several places with a food thermometer. Keep raw garnishes and cold yogurt or tahini sauces separate and use them cold within their label limits.
