EASY SOUTH OF THE BORDER WRAPS

Steps:

• Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add in the garlic, green pepper and cook just a couple of minutes. Then, add in the scallions, beans, corn, salsa, rice and cilantro. Just cook 4-5 minutes on medium low simmer until heated through. Check for any additional seasoning like salt and pepper if needed.
• Tortillas -- As you are heating up the filling -- heat up the tortillas. I do this as easy as possible. Wrap 4 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minutes on medium heat. Flip over after 30 seconds. Done.
• Wraps -- Lay each tortilla out flat and add 1/4 cup of the cheese. Then add the bean filling and wrap. I start at one end and roll, then tuck in each side as you finish rolling them up. There is no real right or wrong procedure for this.
• Finish -- After the wraps are finished, I like to add them to a serving platter or dish, cover with the same paper towels you originally heated the tortillas in; and back in the microwave for just another minute on medium heat to melt the cheese and to make sure the tortillas and filling are hot.
• Serve -- Garnish with sour cream on the side; and serve along side a nice bowl or soup or a salad.
