Ingredients
For the black bean & quinoa mixture:
- 1 cup quinoa uncooked, white
- 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 15 oz. black beans canned
- 15 oz. diced tomatoes I like fire-roasted with green chiles, canned
For the fajita vegetables:
- 1 yellow onion (or any color)
- 2 bell pepper any color
- 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 2-3 garlic clove minced, optional
The rest:
- 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo, etc, blender
- 8 tortilla gluten-free if desired, large burrito-size
- vegan cheese
- vegan sour cream
- cilantro
- hot sauce
- avocado toppings of choice
Instructions
- Make taco seasoning (if using homemade). This recipe uses 1 full batch.
- Cook the quinoa: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup quinoa (rinsed and drained), 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning, and 1 1/2 cups water or (vegetable broth). Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice onion and bell pepper.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, sauté onion and bell pepper with 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (I use 3 Tbsp. vegetable broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- When quinoa is done cooking, add to a large bowl. Then add black beans (rinsed and drained) and diced tomatoes (drained of excess juice). Stir well to combine.
- Assemble the burritos: Spoon the quinoa mixture, onion/pepper, and salsa (and other toppings of choice) down the middle of your tortillas. Roll up, tucking in both sides.
