| 25 minutes (10 min prep, 15 min baking) | Serves 4 (8 wraps) | Easy | Dinner or Weekend Cooking |
Ingredients
For the filling
- 500 g SNX ground meat (thawed)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 can of black beans (400 g), rinsed and drained
- 150 g corn (canned or frozen)
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- a pinch of chili flakes, salt and pepper to taste
To serve
- 8 whole-wheat tortilla wraps (about 40 g each)
- 100 g grated aged cheese
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- ¼ head of iceberg lettuce, cut into strips
- 120 g Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Preparation
- Stir the Greek yogurt with lime juice and a pinch of salt to make a sauce, then set it aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
- Add the SNX ground meat and cook for 6–8 minutes until it’s crumbly and evenly browned. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks.
- Sprinkle paprika, cumin, and chili flakes over the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the bell pepper, black beans, and corn, and sauté for 4 minutes until the bell pepper is just tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Briefly heat the wraps in a dry skillet (about 20 seconds per side) to make them pliable.
- Divide the ground meat filling among the wraps. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a spoonful of yogurt sauce.
- Fold the bottom edge over, roll the wrap tightly, and cut it in half diagonally. Serve immediately with a lime wedge.
Tips for the Tastiest Wraps
Cook the ground meat in a single layer. Use a large pan and let the ground meat cook undisturbed for the first few minutes so it develops a browned crust instead of stewing. That crust gives the filling its deep, savory flavor.
Let the filling thicken slightly. If the filling is still moist after adding the vegetables, cook it for one more minute over high heat. A dry filling keeps the wrap firm and prevents it from getting soggy.
Put everything on the table. Make it a wrap night: put the warm filling, toppings, and sauce in small bowls on the table and let everyone fill their own wraps. Perfect for families with picky eaters.
Nutritional Value Per Serving
One serving consists of 2 wraps with filling. The SNX portion (125 g of SNX ground meat per serving) is calculated based on the official SNX nutrition facts label. The other ingredients are approximate averages and may vary by brand.
| Per serving | Total per serving (approximate) | Of which SNX ground meat (125 g, official) | Other ingredients (approximate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein (g) | 41,2 | 20,1 | 21,1 |
| Fiber (g) | 19,2 | 6,1 | 13,1 |
| Energy (kcal) | 718 | 196 | 522 |
| Fat (g) | 31,5 | 11,7 | 19,8 |
The best part about these wraps is the protein and fiber. SNX ground meat is high in protein (16.1 g of protein per 100 g) and a good source of fiber (4.9 g per 100 g). The ground meat alone provides 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving. Combined with the black beans and whole-wheat wraps, you get nearly 20 grams of fiber per serving—about two-thirds of the 30 grams that the Health Council recommends as the daily minimum.
Why This Works with SNX
SNX ground meat cooks up loose and develops a nice brown crust, just like the ground meat you’re used to. The difference lies in the ingredients: up to 50% beef—Dutch beef—supplemented with legumes and vegetables for a better nutritional profile. As a result, you get more protein and fiber and less fat than in traditional ground meat, with a Nutri-Score of A. The spices and smoky paprika do the rest: you’ll simply taste a rich, hearty ground meat filling. Since SNX ground beef is delivered frozen, you’ll always have it on hand for a quick dinner: just thaw it in the fridge, cook it in a pan, and it’s ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can you store the ground meat filling?
The cooked filling will keep for 2 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Store the filling separately from the wraps and toppings so that nothing gets soggy.
What's the best way to reheat wraps with ground meat?
Heat the filling in a skillet for 3–4 minutes until it's piping hot. Warm the wraps separately in a dry pan, and fill them just before serving.
Can you make variations on this recipe?
Sure. Replace the black beans with kidney beans, add roasted zucchini, or turn it into a casserole: place the stuffed wraps in a baking dish, sprinkle cheese on top, and bake them at 200 °C for 10 minutes. SNX ground meat is gluten-free; choose gluten-free wraps if you want to make the entire dish gluten-free.
