Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need:
– 2 whole wheat tortillas
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1/2 cup corn kernels
– 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
– 1/2 cup diced onions
– 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s move on to the cooking process:
1. Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they are softened, about 2 minutes.
3. Season the Vegetables: Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and turmeric over the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute.
4. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn kernels, and cooked vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay one tortilla flat on a plate. Place a generous amount of the quinoa and vegetable mixture on one side of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture (if using).
6. Fold the Tortilla: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
7. Cook the Burrito: In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the wrapped burrito in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Cut the burrito in half and serve it warm. You can garnish with avocado slices, salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
Enjoy your homemade vegetarian breakfast burritos, and don’t forget to share this delicious meal with your family and friends!
