Method

01
Mash the herbed bean filling

Mash the herbed bean filling

In a medium bowl, add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork until about halfway broken down, leaving some whole beans for a rustic bite. Stir in the red onion, parsley, dill, and garlic.

02
Dress and rest the filling

Dress and rest the filling

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Pour over the beans and fold to combine. Taste and adjust the salt or lemon, then let the filling sit 10 to 15 minutes so the herbs bloom.

03
Roll and slice into bites

Roll and slice into bites

Warm stiff tortillas in a dry skillet if needed, then spread the bean mixture over each leaving a 1-inch border. Lay spinach or arugula down the center, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Slice into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pinwheels with a serrated knife and serve.

Tips

NoteWarm stiff tortillas 15 to 20 seconds per side so they roll without cracking.

Frequently asked

Can I use a different bean?+

Cannellini gives the creamiest mash; butter beans or great northern beans work too.

Is this gluten-free?+

The filling is naturally gluten-free; just choose gluten-free tortillas.

How do I keep the wraps from unrolling?+

Fold the sides in first, roll tightly, and set each wrap seam-side down before slicing.
