Recipe tips Half the fried beans mixture is reserved for use in the Stuffed red peppers recipe as part of the Budget vegetarian meal plan for one. If you are not using the meal plan, the leftover fried beans can be frozen or kept in the fridge for 3 days. Mini tortilla wraps are sometimes more expensive than standard large wraps so check the price. Swap four mini wraps for two standard wraps if that works better for you.
