During the summer months, the amount I cook drops off. I want easy, quick, and (for the most part), no oven required. Bruschetta is a favorite summer treat of mine that only gets made with fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. I make big batches and use on my morning eggs and in recipes like this white bean wrap. I cheat a bit on this recipe and fry the garlic first then toss the white beans, just to warm. This added touch cuts out the raw garlic flavor and helps to make the beans extra good. Make the bruschetta the night before and assemble these wraps as a perfect take to work lunch!

A perfect summer white bean wrap made with cooked white beans and an easy fresh tomato bruschetta.
Tips & Tricks: This recipe makes more bruschetta than needed for the two wraps. Save for another wrap or you can do as I did and ate a portion on the side for extra.
Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: white beans, tomatoes, basil
Nutrition: see the information.
Bruschetta is one of those over-done menu items at restaurants. I never order it and only make it at home during the summer. The tomatoes are the true star in this white bean wrap but the garlicky white beans come in a close second.
Hummus: Leave out the white beans from the bruschetta and add a smear of hummus to the wrap before placing the spinach on top (or double down on bean power and just add the hummus!)
Greens: Spinach is my usual go-to wrap green but kale or a lettuce mixture would also work (kale especially well since it's one of the greens that is a bit heartier during the warm summer months).
Vegan: Leave off the goat cheese- it's pretty simple!
We have a discourse in our house in that M doesn't like sandwiches. Too much bread, not enough filling. These wraps from Flatout are a great compromise. They let the ingredients shine, have a bit of protein themselves thanks to chickpeas, and hold together well for his lunch. A few other ways to use these wraps:
Hummus Wrap with Halloumi
Curried Cauliflower Wrap
Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
Hi Ella,
I wanna know if the tomato in the recipe can be substituted with something else? Is there anything?
Roasted Zucchini or Summer Squash would be nice (different texture but would work with the flavors).
These recipes look awesome. I am trying to stop eating me and become a full vegetarian but somewhat challenging. So glad I found this site.
I love you so much, you are really awesome. I had a hard life. My blood cholesterol and triglycerides went sky high. Started using a lot of your healthy recipes hoping that everything will become good again.
Triglycerides were 9.8, cholesterol was 7.5. The doctors were looking at me like I am a dead man.
After using your recipes and some homemade remedies that i learn from my old people in my family, I managed to lower my triglycerides to 3 and cholesterol to 5 for only 1 month. Doctors were pretty much amazed.
After the doctor's reaction I even created my own website trying to help people from all around the world. It's not good as this but... working hard just for my daughter hoping some day my work will pay out is a must!
Right now, I feel same like before, I feel that something's wrong with me. Life's not going good cuz of the madness i get in my everyday world. My nerves cannot stand all the pressure i got at the moment.
This is why I am back to check on your recipes.
Thanks for helping me with your recipes Ella and i hope that his long comment will not bother you at all.

Simple and delicious - my favorite kind of recipe! Is Flatout available in Whole Foods?
I'm not sure- I usually find them at my local neighborhood store (Safeway).
Made this for my daughter this past summer, she couldn't stop raving about it!
Now I make this over salad greens....perfect!
Thanks 😊
