The foundation of any good wrap starts with an excellent tortilla, and whole wheat tortillas are a fantastic choice. Rich in fiber, whole wheat tortillas not only aid in digestion but also contribute to a feeling of fullness, which can help curb unhealthy snacking later in the day. They provide a wholesome source of carbohydrates without the refined sugars found in traditional flour tortillas.

Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup cooked ham, diced into small pieces

1 can (15 oz) chili beans (with liquid)

1 cup corn (canned or frozen, drained if canned)

1 cup red bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is tender and fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients: Add the diced cooked ham to the skillet along with the chili beans (with their liquid), corn, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it heats evenly and the flavors meld.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Spoon a generous amount of the ham chili mixture onto the center of the tortilla, ensuring you leave at least an inch of space around the edges. Evenly sprinkle a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.

        Roll the Tortilla: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly to encase all the ingredients. Make sure to roll it snugly to prevent any filling from falling out. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Optional Grilling: If you prefer a crispy texture, preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Place each stuffed wrap in the pan and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

            Serve: Once grilled (if desired), slice each wrap in half diagonally for a nice presentation. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if you like. Enjoy your warm and delicious wraps!
