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!

Starbucks Copycat Quinoa and Black Bean Wrap

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time25 minutes mins
Servings: 5 -6 wraps depending on size of pita bread
Author: Lisa Le

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

  • 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.
  • Once the quinoa is cooked, remove from heat, fluff with a fork and drizzle lime juice over the quinoa.
  • Mix in the corn kernels and black beans, add salt to taste, and set aside while you assemble the wrap.
  • Preheat a pan (or skillet) over medium heat.
  • Open up your pita and spread some veganaise inside. Add daiya cheeze and then fill the pita with the quinoa filling.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Thank you tasted Starbucks yet like you could not justify the cost, made enough filling for 12 wraps my entire family devoured them and have asked me to make them again. Made a few adjustments due to allergies and sensitivities, can’t wait to make this full-filling wrap part of my family’s meal plan.
