White Bean Wraps with Pickled Cucumber and Mint

These flavorful wraps hit the spot when you’re looking for a quick meal that’s both refreshing and filling. Creamy cannellini beans are mashed with aromatic mint and slathered on a tortilla, which gets piled with greens, red onion, and tangy pickled cucumber. Quick-pickling the cucumber and onions infuses them with zingy flavor while still maintaining their satisfying crunch. Feel free to add in other veggies—such as radishes, carrots, or beets—to the pickling juices if you want a heftier wrap.

I made this for my mom, then again later for my husband. We all give it five stars. It was better the second time with the addition of a pinch of white ground pepper, a small splash of tamari, about a half tsp of tahini, about a tsp of nutritional yeast, and the optional carrot matchsticks and thinly sliced radishes. It’s one of those outstanding recipes that goes into the tried and true family recipe box.

This recipe was great. I had leftover cucumbers and onions so they went into salads for a few days.

love the recipes but could you please put nutrition information on them. Were slowly converting to more if not all plant based, but have to watch Sodium, Fat and Carbs (Heart Disease/Diabetes and Stroke).

The perfect wrap for a summer picnic! Time to pickle the cucumbers aside, this recipe couldn't be much more quick, easy, and delicious.
