• Mix the beans, corn, bell pepper, salsa and cilantro.
• Place the tortillas on a clean counter or on waxed paper. Spread about 1/2 cup of the bean mixture over each tortilla to within 1 inch of the edge. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each tortilla.
• Fold opposite sides of each tortilla up toward the center about 1 inch over the filling--the sides will not meet in the center. Roll up tortilla, beginning at one of the open ends. Place wraps, seam sides down, in the microwavable dish.

Steps:

• Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add in the garlic, green pepper and cook just a couple of minutes. Then, add in the scallions, beans, corn, salsa, rice and cilantro. Just cook 4-5 minutes on medium low simmer until heated through. Check for any additional seasoning like salt and pepper if needed.
• Tortillas -- As you are heating up the filling -- heat up the tortillas. I do this as easy as possible. Wrap 4 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minutes on medium heat. Flip over after 30 seconds. Done.
• Wraps -- Lay each tortilla out flat and add 1/4 cup of the cheese. Then add the bean filling and wrap. I start at one end and roll, then tuck in each side as you finish rolling them up. There is no real right or wrong procedure for this.
• Finish -- After the wraps are finished, I like to add them to a serving platter or dish, cover with the same paper towels you originally heated the tortillas in; and back in the microwave for just another minute on medium heat to melt the cheese and to make sure the tortillas and filling are hot.
• Serve -- Garnish with sour cream on the side; and serve along side a nice bowl or soup or a salad.
