A trip to New York in early 2013 introduced us to their posh food trucks and stalls – they were an eye opener about how delicious itinerant food can be, especially the one we ate from on the corner of Wooster and Prince, between Chelsea and the Lower East Side. Also, hats off to all the food truck guys for feeding blacked-out areas of New York at cost price during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012

The [[Bean|bean]] mix here is gorgeous; creamy and filling without being stodgy and bloaty, with a lovely clean beany flavour, and the various trimmings go incredibly well with it. Unlike some UK interpretations of [[Tortillas|tortillas]], these are free from the ersatz flavours of [[Refried beans|refried beans]], [[Cumin|cumin]] and [[Garlic|garlic]]. What follows are broad guidelines – this is mainly about the [[Black bean|black bean]] recipe.

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Put the soaked and drained [[Beans|beans]], [[Carrot|carrot]], [[Celery|celery]], [[Onions|onions]], [[Bay leaves|bay leaves]] and [[Coriander|coriander]] stalks into a large lidded [[Saucepan|saucepan]], and top up with just enough water to cover everything.
| Place on a low heat and bring to the [[Boil|boil]].
| Cook gently for 90 -120 minutes until the beans are tender.
| Drain and reserve the cooking [[Liquor|liquor]]. Pick out and discard the carrot, celery, onions, [[Bay|bay]] leaves and coriander stalks.
| Return the drained [[Beans|beans]] to the large [[Saucepan|saucepan]], add 3 tablespoons of the cooking [[Liquor|liquor]], the [[Spring onions|spring onions]], the [[Coriander powder|coriander powder]], and season well. Cook gently for 8 minutes.
| Check seasoning again, and add a little more liquor if it looks too dry – the mixture should be very slightly runny.
| Resist any temptation to [[Mash|mash]], these beans are meant to be kept whole.
| Stir in the [[Coriander leaves|coriander leaves]].
| Set aside and keep warm.
| Warm through the [[Tortillas|tortillas]], then bring everything to the table and let everyone assemble their own wraps and enjoy.
| Y'all have a nice day now!

===Variations===
For a [[Vegan|vegan]] version, just omit the [[Cheese|cheese]] and the [[Cream|cream]] use for the topping.
