INGREDIENTS
For the quinoa:
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup cooked red kidney beans
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic (I used dried)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup water
For the sauce:
- ½ cup salsa
- 1/8- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy mayonnaise (vegenaise)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tortillas
- Avocado, chopped, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
For the quinoa:
Add dry, unwashed quinoa to a large dry skillet. Toast until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add veggie broth and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender (about 15 minutes). Add remaining ingredients (except sauce ingredients), cover, and heat over low heat until beans are warmed through. Add more water if needed to keep the quinoa from sticking.
For the sauce:
Add all sauce ingredients to a blender and process until sauce is smooth.
In an oven or toaster oven, lightly toast 2 tortillas until warm and slightly crispy. Plate. Divide quinoa/bean mixture in half, and place half the filling inside each tortilla. Roll up or fold tortillas in half.
