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.

My latest YouTube video with my recipe for EZ PZ sourdough bread is live. No need to wait for a levain, no autolyze, and no super wet, sticky dough or gummy bread!
🍞
I've been thoroughly enjoying all this bread and how consistently delicious it has been! Please go give it a watch to hear me wax and wane about bread, or check out the blog post for a video with no talking, only bread πŸ˜‚

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!
πŸͺ
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 :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity πŸ˜‚β£οΈπŸ˜­Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
πŸ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
πŸ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
πŸ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
πŸ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
πŸ‚
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
πŸ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles πŸ˜‚
πŸ’š
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long πŸ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog πŸ±πŸŒ³πŸ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
πŸ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets πŸ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days πŸ˜‚ bΓ‘nh hỏi thα»‹t nΖ°α»›ng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nΖ°α»›ng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.
πŸ₯—
Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bΓ‘nh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount πŸ˜‚

Check out the new video on YT and the recipe on my blog, swipe up links in my stories!
