Black Bean Wraps

Saturday at lunch time usually finds me standing in front of the refrigerator wondering what tasty creation I can whip up with what's left in the fridge from the week and what's in the pantry.  This is due in large part to the fact that grocery shopping gets done on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.  So this Saturday, inspired by a Food Network magazine recipe I'd debated for the week to come, I threw together what was sitting around and came up with the tastiest wrap.

Ingredients (per sandwich):

1 Mission Jalapeno Cheddar wrap (low-fat variety)
1/2 avocado
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup heated black beans
1/4 cup shredded jack cheese
1/3 cup pico de gallo
Handful mixed greens

Instructions:
Heat up your canned black beans.  Lay the wrap on a large plate.  Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out half of the avocado and place on the wrap.  Smash the avocado with a fork and spread evenly along the center of the wrap.  Sprinkle with salt.  Drain the black beans and spoon 1/2 cup into the center of the wrap, on top of the avocado.  On top of the beans, sprinkle the cheese and the pico de gallo.  Top with a small handful of mixed greens.  Wrap up burrito style and enjoy!!
