Ingredients

  • Quinoa a cup (185g) – that’s the star

  • Corn a cup (165g) – go fresh or frozen, whatever floats your boat
  • Cherry Tomatoes a cup (150g), chopped
  • Red Bell Pepper a big one (150g), diced
  • Cilantro a handful (½ cup or 8g), chopped
  • Lime Juice from 2 limes or about 2 tbsp (30ml)

  • Whole Wheat Tortillas 4 (8-inch or 20cm)

Instructions

  • Quinoa First: Give it a rinse, boil with 2 cups (475ml) water, a pinch of salt, simmer for 15 mins. Fluff it like you mean it!
  • Salad Time: Mix quinoa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, pepper, and cilantro in a big ol’ bowl.
  • Dressing Fun: Lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk it and toss it over the salad.
  • Wrap it Up: Lay out the tortillas, spread the Quinoa Black Bean Salad, fold, roll, and grin.
  • Want it Crispy? Grill ’em 2-3 minutes on each side. It’s a game-changer.
