Ingredients
  

  • 200 g kidney beans
  • 150 g pumpkin
  • 100 g kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 whole lime
  • 2 whole whole wheat wraps
  • Salt
  • pepper
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional
  • Side salad (mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber) optional

Equipment

  • Griddle or frying pan
  • Chef's knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Grater for lime zest

Method
 

  1. In a frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced pumpkin and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Add the chopped kale to the pan and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the kidney beans, cumin, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Add the kidney bean mixture to the frying pan with the pumpkin and kale. Stir well, cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
  6. Warm the whole wheat wraps in a dry pan or microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  7. Distribute the kidney bean filling evenly onto the wraps, fold them tightly, and cut in half to serve.
  8. Sprinkle the wraps with sesame seeds and enjoy with your side salad.
