    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Empty canned beans into a blender. Add paprika and blend. Set aside.

    2 Mash avocados with a fork then mix in oregano. Wash cucumber and cut lengthwise in 4 long pieces. Wash capsicum and cut in strips. Wash spring onions and remove the roots.

    3 Spread each tortilla with the avocado mixture. Cover with a lettuce leaf. Spread the lettuce with bean mixture. Arrange cucumber piece along the diagonal. Add capsicum strips. Add spring onion.

    4 Roll up each tortilla tightly, refrigerate for 2 hours then cut in 2cm pieces.

    Serving suggestion

    Serve sushi with cherry tomatoes.

    Variations

    • You can also use wraps or Lebanese bread but not pita bread as it is too thick.
    • Added fresh parsley sprigs taste incredible in this recipe.
    • Go crazy and use 2 capsicums: a yellow and a red one. This increases the vege count and adds more colour.
    • If it’s not avocado season, you can replace it with another can of beans or a low-fat cream cheese spread.

    HFG tip

    Make sure the tortilla is thin, soft and bendable.
