QUINOA WRAP WITH BLACK BEANS, FETA AND AVOCADO



This recipe comes from   http://www.marinmamacooks.com/.

QUINOA WRAP WITH BLACK BEANS, FETA AND AVOCADO:

qunioa wrap:
  • 1 cup of dry quinoa, or feel free to use any leftover quinoa you have – Note: This makes up a full batch of quinoa, but I use it up all week in this wrap, as well as other dishes.
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1 15-ounce can of black beans, drained – You will also store any unused black beans for future wraps
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 6-8 spinach leaves
  • Monterey jack cheese to taste
  • feta cheese to taste
  • large (9-inch) multi-grain or spinach tortilla – You could also skip the tortilla and wrap it in lettuce or collard green, or just mix the quinoa mixture with some spinach leaves
avocado-tahini dip:
makes approximately 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup well stirred tahini – make sure this is a level cup, as too much tahini will overpower the dip
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
