This is a really nice colourful summer appetizer. You can make the rolls the day before and keep them in the fridge overnight. Slice just before serving!

- Spicy Black Bean Dip ingredients shopping list
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil shopping list
- 1 small onion, chopped shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped shopping list
- 1 fresh jalopeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped shopping list
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (19 oz.) shopping list

- 1 tsp. chili powder shopping list
- 1 cup drained plum tomatoes, roughly chopped shopping list

- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar shopping list
How to make it
- Make the Spicy Black Bean Dip first:
- Heat Vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and jalopeno pepper and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender- about 10 minutes.
- Stir in black beans, cumin, chili powder, tomatoes and a little seasoning and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside for a couple of minutes to cool.
- Spoon bean mixture into a food processor and pulse briefly to make a smooth puree. Adjust flavour with vinegar and salt and pepper.
- To put it all together:
- Spread each of the tortillas with an even layer of about 1/2 cup of the Spicy Black Bean Dip, leaving about 1/2" uncovered around the edge. Sprinkle with red onion and coriander.
- Arrange pepper slices and grated cheese in an even layer across the lower 2/3rd's of each tortilla. I usually use four slices of pepper per tortilla.
- Roll up the filled tortillas to make neat spirals. Trim off the ends, then cut each roll into 6 equal pieces.

Cheers for making the front page! This is another great idea for picnic food. A total make ahead too.

Fixed these up for a family gathering to celebrate Baby Sawyer's baptism. I made very few changes to the recipe as written. Most were in the black bean dip. I used lime juice for the acid in the dip instead of red wine vinegar and also added a tea...more
