Method
1. Place the beans in a large mixing bowl and use a fork to lightly mash these. Add the chicken, capsicum, shallots, and chipotle seasoning and stir to combine.
2. Heat a large grill pan or frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil and scatter some of the cheese over half of each wrap. Top it with the bean mixture and the spinach.
3. Scatter the remaining cheese and fold each wrap in half to make sure the filling is neatly tucked in.
4. Place 2 filled wraps in the pan, pressing to seal all the juices in. Then place a heatproof plate on top and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until lightly charred. Carefully turn the wraps and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until crisp, golden and cheese is all gooey.
5. Transfer to a plate and cover it with foil to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining filled wraps.
6. Enjoy your Mexican feast or we'll do it for you!
