instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing the black beans and corn in a colander under cold water until they are well-drained.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the black beans, corn, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and mix everything together. Set aside for a moment.

    3

    Take your tortillas and warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable.

    4

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and add a pinch of salt and lime juice from the other half of the lime to keep it fresh.

    5

    Now, spread a layer of the mashed avocado onto each tortilla.

    6

    Next, spoon the black bean and corn mixture over the avocado layer.

    7

    Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then carefully roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling stays inside.

    8

    If desired, cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
