Each Thursday on a residential program, Quest for Life head chef Leanne serves this delicious and healthy burrito wrap recipe. Known as “Wrap Day” by the Quest team, Thursday is a day we look forward to every week due to how tasty this meal is every time.
Participants of our residential programs get to enjoy this recipe in person, with a choice of vegetarian beans or chicken filling – or both. Tortilla wraps available include flour, wholemeal, corn, and spinach.
The cannellini beans suggested in this recipe can be easily substituted for any other tinned beans you’d like, including black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, or great northern beans.
Serve with sliced cooked chicken breast, if you would like the full ‘Quest wrap day’ experience.
Makes 4-6 generous wraps.
