What's the point of a veggie wrap?

I promised to blog this year, and here it is. 

This week:     My Wii Fit is moaning at me for not using it enough.
                     I have had two nights of almost no sleep and one night of way too much. None were helpful.
                     I decided to spice up my Vegetarian Wraps with some Chicken!!

I have yet to find a vegetarian wrap recipe that looks like I want to eat it. Actually - let me amend that. There was one that had a peanut satay sauce with it, and that made it interesting, but Andrew won't eat peanut butter so I'll have to wait until he's out to try it.  Veggie Wraps seem to be grated cucumber, grated carrot, lettuce, tomato, onion and/or peppers, with drizzled balsamic vinegar.  I don't see the point. 

Anyway last night we did the cucumber, lettuce, tomato, and onion, with some added stir fried chicken and some nice hot chilli salsa.  I guess I could have tried to leave out the chicken but still add the salsa.

So... anyone who reads this.... do you know of an interesting veggie wrap recipe?

And while I'm asking questions... Does anyone know what section of a supermarket you would find a black bean?  I have a veggie burger recipe that uses mashed black beans instead of mince, but I cannot locate said black beans anywhere. I don't even know if I'm looking for something dried, canned or fresh. Any clues?

This is all Andrew's fault, as he has started again with the "we should eat vegetarian meals twice a week" thing.
