Serves
5
Ingredients
For the Tortillas:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon bamboo charcoal powder
- 3/4 cup cold water
 For the Hummus:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 beets
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
For the Filling:
- 1 cup black beans
- A few bunches of arugula
Preparation
To Make the Hummus:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Wash and cut 2 small beets into 4 and rub the quarters lightly with olive oil. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Puree the roasted beets, 1 1/4 cup of chickpeas, the 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup tahini, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in a food processor or using an immersion blender. Mix in 2 tablespoons of olive oil at the end. If the hummus feels too thick, add a few tablespoons of water until desired consistency.
 To Make the Tortillas:
- Put 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon bamboo powder, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt in a bowl. Mix well.
- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and 3/4 cup of cold water, knead into a smooth dough. Separate into 11 balls, dust lightly with flour, and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out into circles. Put the tortillas under a cloth until you're ready to cook them so they don't dry up
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook tortillas for 30 seconds on each side. Again, put the warmed tortillas under a cloth so they stay nice and moist.
To Make the Hummus Bites:
- Brush some beet hummus into a tortilla, add a bit of chopped black olives, and some arugula. Be sure to put the fillings near the edge to make it easier to roll.
- Roll the tortillas tightly and then slice into bite-sized bits
