Instructions

  • Drain and rinse the 15.5 ounces canned black beans and pat lightly dry. Peel and shred the medium zucchini, then squeeze or press out excess moisture with your hands or a clean towel.
  • In a food processor, combine the drained black beans, 1/2 cup whole oats, 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds, the shredded zucchini, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using). Pulse until the mixture is well combined and holds together but still has some texture.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a patty (about 3/4–1 inch thick). If the mixture is very soft, chill the patties in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up (optional).
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, working in batches if needed, for about 6 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook about 6 minutes on the second side, until browned and heated through. Transfer cooked patties to a plate.
  • While the patties cook (or after removing them), make the Chipotle Aioli: in a small blender or bowl, combine 1/4 cup soft tofu (or plant-based mayo), 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce (or salsa as substitute), and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Blend or whisk until smooth.
  • Lay one whole wheat wrap flat. Place one cooked patty in the center of the wrap. Divide the diced roma tomato and the 1 cup baby spinach evenly among the four wraps and distribute the portions on top of each patty. Spoon an equal portion of the Chipotle Aioli over the toppings.
  • Heat the same skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Fold the wrap: take one side and fold it toward the center, then continue folding clockwise around the wrap until it forms a folded packet (approximately hexagonal).
  • Place the folded side down in the hot skillet and cook about 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and holds together. Flip and cook another 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden.
  • Remove the wrap from the skillet and repeat steps 6–8 with the remaining patties and wraps. Serve warm.
