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.
