These recipes are all under 30 minutes to make including: chicken, beef, shrimp, sausage, vegetarian, and vegan ones. 

I just happened to have a can of Fiesta Black Beans (highly recommend this can as quite flavorful) and Steamfresh Corn. I had no trouble developing this recipe, Vegetarian Southwestern Wrap as I did have rest of ingredients.  

It's a wrap packed with nutrition containing black beans, spinach and peppers, adding in  chicken as an option. Flatouts are a great alternative to flour tortillas with half the calories and half net carbs.   

Hummus which comes in several flavors is an alternative to using a sour cream or cream cheese spread. 

Vegetarian Southwestern Wrap-can be served two ways and makes 5 rolled wraps as shown in the second photo. Ingredients can easily be doubled for more. 

Cooking Tip:  I found rolling each half kept the filling in better but all in your own preference.
Ingredients: 

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder 
• 1 large red pepper, diced or 1 cup roasted red pepper drained, patted dry and diced
• Optional 1 diced jalapeno

• 3 minced garlic cloves or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 cup frozen corn or Steam fresh canned corn
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 cups fresh spinach, stems removed and leaves torn 
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Monterey Jack cheese or Pepper Jack Cheese
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Hummus or low fat sour cream mixed with blue cheese crumbles
• Flatouts or flour tortillas
• Optional 3 cups cooked cubed chicken pieces or shredded rotisserie chicken 

Directions:

• Saute peppers, onions, garlic in olive oil with spices .  Add in corn, beans mix well and simmer on low heat a few minutes. Cooked chicken can be added in at this time if using. Add in spinach leaves, saute 1 minutes then cover pan and remove pan from heat.
