Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spatula
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Mexican style quinoa cooked
  • 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Mexican style cheese reduced-fat, grated
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 4 whole-grain wraps or tortillas 8 inches

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking your quinoa according to the package instructions. If you’re using pre-cooked Mexican style quinoa, simply heat it in a pot or microwave until warm.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, rinsed black beans, reduced-fat cheese, and salsa. Use a spatula to mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.
  • If you prefer slightly warm wraps, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each whole-grain wrap in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
  • Lay one wrap on a flat surface. Spoon about ½ cup of the quinoa and bean mixture onto the center of the wrap. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight burrito shape. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  • Your Protein Quinoa & Bean Burrito Wrap is ready to enjoy! You can serve them immediately, or store them for later.

Notes

  • Make a big batch of the quinoa and bean mixture to use throughout the week in salads, grain bowls, or as a side dish.
  • Let the mixture cool before assembling the wraps to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as cumin or cilantro, for added flavor.
