Tips for making these wraps

  • You can eat the salad by itself without making the wrap.
  • Add the sauce and let is stay for about 30 minutes before wrapping it. This is optional, but, it helps infuse the flavors
  • Heat the tortilla and immediately wrap them in the quinoa salad. It will make the wrapping process easier
  • Use the recipe for meal prep. Make the quinoa salad ahead of time and wrap it when you are ready to eat
  • If possible, use in-season veggies like squash, etc. Seasonal veggies are the fresh and at peak nutrition.

Types of quinoa

In my recipe, I use red or brown quinoa only. These quinoa are on the expensive side but they do stand out!

If you can find them easily, use red quinoa because they had wonderful contrasting colors. As far as nutrition, it has the same nutrition as regular quinoa.

For these quinoa salad wraps, you can use black quinoa, white quinoa and Tri-color quinoa (AKA rainbow quinoa). The idea is to find quinoa that you can easily get your hands on and those that are affordable.

According to Simply Quinoa, there are 101 types of quinoa!! I had no idea!

How to cook quinoa

  • Cooking quinoa is the easiest thing in the world. I use a method similar to cooking my basmati rice.
  • I start with boiling water. Here are the ratios I use. For 1 cup of quinoa, I boil 3 cups of water.
  • When the water has come to a boil, I add the quinoa. You can add 1 tsp salt to the water, but it’s optional.
  • Cook the quinoa on medium high for 15 minutes or until you see the quinoa has doubled in size. They will also be easy to mush with the back of a spoon.
  • Then, drain the excess water from the quinoa. Make sure you shake the strainer until all the water has been removed. You want to make sure that the wrap doesn’t get soggy
  • Use a fork to stir the quinoa. This will make them fluffy.
  • You are now ready to put them in a recipe.
