  • Add the rice, caraway seeds, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and leave to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed, then let cool.

  • Stir well.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the beet paste in the middle of each tortilla and cover with one of the lettuce leaf halves.
  • Top with a couple of heaping spoonfuls of the black rice filling.
  • Sprinkle with the grated pear and fold or roll the tortillas to create a wrap.
