Notes
- The time to make this depends on how many things you make from scratch (queso, tortillas, etc.) and whether your protein is prepared in advance.
- A 12-inch tortilla is important because if it’s smaller it won’t wrap.

- Heat the black beans in a skillet on low heat.
- Heat the tortilla in another skillet on low heat until it is warm.
- Place it on a flat surface.
- Begin layering with shredded cheese, then the first toasted tortilla, then the protein, black beans, avocado, queso, pico, the second toasted tortilla, then sprinkle with more shredded cheese.
- Start by folding the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a hexagon shape (see below).
