Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the quinoa sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and black beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat and spoon a quarter of the quinoa and black bean mixture down the center.
- Top with fresh salsa, avocado slices, and shredded lettuce.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
Helpful Tips:
Storage Instructions: If you have leftovers, wrap each one in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1 minute or warm in a skillet.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute the black beans with pinto beans or chickpeas for a different flavor. For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
Pairings:
Complement your Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap with a side of fresh fruit salad or a light cucumber and tomato salad. For drinks, refreshing iced tea or a mint lemonade would be perfect accompaniments.
