Starbucks Copycat Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap

#Starbucks #Copycat #Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap | alimentageuse.com #lunch #vegan

I know I waited a long time to post these Starbucks Copycat Quinoa and Black Bean Wraps, but they were a little ways down my queue of blog posts. But here they are!

I had it once upon a time ago at Starbucks (is it still even available?) and it was DELICIOUS, so I knew I had to remake it at home, but vegan!. But it was also 9 dollars, which was a little steep for a skinny little wrap. I was so hungry that I bought it anyway, but you could easily make 3 wraps for the price of 9 dollars. So that’s what I did. Hope you like it!

Yield: 5-6 wraps depending on size of pita bread

Starbucks Copycat Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap

Starbucks Copycat Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (or 1 cup water + veg broth cube)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Optional: A pinch of cayenne
  • 2 small ears of corn, boiled, and kernels cut
  • 1/2 a can of black beans (19 oz), rinsed and drained
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Veganaise
  • Daiya Pepperjack cheeze.
  • Whole Wheat pita pockets

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa by combining quinoa, water, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne powder in a small covered pot over medium low heat (My stove dial is from 1-8, I usually have it around a 3). Let simmer for 20 minutes, DO NOT LIFT LID before 20 minute mark.
  2. Once the quinoa is cooked, remove from heat, fluff with a fork and drizzle lime juice over the quinoa.
  3. Mix in the corn kernels and black beans, add salt to taste, and set aside while you assemble the wrap.
  4. Preheat a pan (or skillet) over medium heat.
  5. Open up your pita and spread some veganaise inside. Add daiya cheeze and then fill the pita with the quinoa filling.
  6. Roll the pita, then wrap/secure with parchment paper by taking a fairly large square, wrapping it around the pita, and then twisting the bottom to keep intact. (I wrap it with part of the pita poking out, so I can eat it while holding the parchment paper).
  7. Cook the wrapped pita on the skillet, rotating until the pita is somewhat crispy and golden, and the pita is heated through to melt the cheeze.
  8. Eat immediately!

      Haha thanks Shari! Ummm I can’t remember which font exactly, I think it was Eyes Wide Open..? I know it’s by Vanessa of “By the Butterfly” and her fonts can be found on dafont.com.

    I recently experienced a Starbucks Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap and immediately fell in love with it. I’m pretty excited to have found your recipe for it and have been meaning to try it for a few days now. However, the editor in me has compelled me to let you know that in your recipe, you have misspelled “Vegenaise” and noticed in your About section that you would want to know this.

    Have you made these ahead of time before? I don’t have all the time in the morning for preparing and was looking for something so just grab and go. Could I make 3 or 4 at once and then be able to grab one in themorning, heat real quick and go? I’m always looking for a healthy breakfast that isn’t sweat.

      I personally haven’t done it myself, but what you can always do is prep the filling before hand and just stuff and cook em up them in 10 minutes before you head out?

    I made this & absolutely loved it!
    I substituted a few things to customize it more to my liking;
    I used sour cream & salsa instead of mayo, jalapeno Havarti & switched it up to a plain tortilla wrap and pan fried it in a little bit of butter.

It seems like @chez.jorge and I were on a similar wavelength this week because I've been working on this washed flour seitan video πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ but the video is here and y'all, you can make seitan with JUST flour and water!!

My body got really mad at me for overdoing it on the salt last week so lately all I've been craving is fresh veggies. I piled on my vegan egg salad over some salad greens with tomatoes, cucumber, sunflower seeds, and coconut bacon.
πŸ₯—
It's a pretty hearty salad that hit the protein hard with a hearty dose of eggy flavour! Eddie thinks I'm a little weird for eating tofu egg salad like this but sometimes you don't feel like bread (I know, me? Not want bread?!)
πŸ₯—
If you want the recipe, I have a swipe up in my stories and you can find the recipe on my blog! (http://bit.ly/2wLWMr3) we make this once every few weeks for meal prep for Eddie and for when I am too scatterbrained to remember to make lunch πŸ˜…

New recipe is live!! Y'all know me and my love for dumplings and these red curry flavoured dumplings are up on the channel and the blog.
πŸ₯Ÿ
I feel like I could have improved the camera angle for capturing the dumpling folding but honestly seeing it from this angle to see what your hands are supposed to do is helpful too. Either way, go have a watch and I'd love to see your dumpling creations (bonus if you wanna challenge yourself and try braided dumplings!)
πŸ₯Ÿ
Have you tried braided dumplings before? It was actually really satisfying to really get a handle of it in the end. Swipe up in my stories for a video link and the recipe! (Recipe: https://bit.ly/3rhcg08)

I love having mock meats around but tofu will always have a soft spot in my heart! So many different types of tofu and so many different textures can be achieved, but honestly one of the most regular uses for firm tofu in our house is making tofu egg breakfast sandos with it!I have a recipe on my blog for these sandwiches (https://thevietvegan.com/vegan-egg-mcmuffins/) and they are deliciously eggy with this black salt marinade! Eddie makes this all the time, and often doesn't even bother with marinade sometimes, he just sprinkles black salt and pepper on top after frying both sides in the cast iron.I teamed up with some other fellow vegan creators who are sharing their tofu tips today so go check em out!✨ @muriellebanackissa made Sweet and Spicy Nooch Coated Tofu⁠
✨ @plantbasedkristy made Shredded Tofu Magic⁠
✨ @plentyfullvegan made Tofu Feta⁠
✨ @thecanadianafrican made Suya Tofu Skewers⁠
✨ @twomarketgirls made Crispy Herby Tofu Croutons!#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #bestofvegan #veganfood #tofurecipes

AD - Vegan satay with luscious, spiced peanut sauce and crunchy, stinky, umami green papaya salad? Yes please! Eddie thoroughly enjoyed my recipe tests for this recipe and promptly smothered this peanut sauce over anything and everything.
🍱
Recipe and video are on the blog and YouTube channel, please check it out and enjoy the new filming setup that I've been doing lately :) I think this makes for a much better video filmed this way!
🍱
I made this satay recipe as a collab with @monbento to show a delicious lunch idea that you can meal prep ahead of time! Y'all know I am a sucker for delicious food in my bento box, so I'm so jazzed that monbento gave me a code to save y'all 10%.
🍱
Use code THEVIETVEGAN10 on top of the sales happening right now to get you an adorable bento!

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!

Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)
