- Knife and cutting board
- Spoon (for mixing)
- Skillet or frying pan
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Blender or food processor (optional, for smoother guacamole)

Instructions
- Prepare the guacamole: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Add fresh ingredients: Stir in the lime juice, finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Set aside the guacamole: Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld while you prepare the rest of the meal.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper and sweet corn kernels, cooking until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas: In a dry skillet or microwave, gently warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the wraps or bowls: For wraps, spread a generous layer of guacamole on each tortilla. Add cooked black beans, sautéed vegetables, baby spinach, and cooked quinoa. Roll up tightly to form a wrap.
- Optional quesadilla variation: Place a tortilla in a hot skillet, spread guacamole and veggies on half, fold over, and cook until golden and crispy on both sides. Check out the detailed steps in our Veggie Quesadilla Recipe Indian Style Easy & Delicious for more inspiration.
- Serve immediately: Cut wraps or quesadillas in half and serve with extra guacamole or salsa on the side.
Tips & Variations
Tip: To keep your guacamole fresh and green longer, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto its surface to prevent air exposure.
Variation: Add diced mango or pineapple to your guacamole for a sweet and tangy twist that pairs beautifully with spicy dishes.
Tip: For a smoky flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to your guacamole mix.
