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!
