Pin A fun, customizable baked tortilla wrap filled with creamy beans and melty cheese is perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or snack.
I first discovered this tortilla wrap hack when looking for fast vegetarian meals during busy weeknights. The clever folding keeps all the fillings tucked in and makes it fun for the whole family to customize their own wraps.
Ingredients

- Red Bell Pepper: 1/2 cup diced for crunch and color.
- Red Onion: 1/4 cup finely chopped for flavor and bite.
- Ground Cumin: 1 tsp provides earthy warmth.
- Smoked Paprika: 1 tsp for smoky depth.
- Chili Powder: 1/2 tsp adds gentle heat.
- Garlic Powder: 1/2 tsp for savory flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste for balanced seasoning.
- Fresh Cilantro: 1/4 cup chopped, optional for freshness.

- Prepare Tortillas:
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Use a knife to make one cut from the center to the edge.

- Fold Wraps:
- Starting at the cut, fold the first quarter over the second, then the third, and finally the fourth, creating a layered triangle.
