Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained

2 cups vegetable broth or water

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 avocado, sliced

1 lime, juiced

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook Quinoa: In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Sauté Vegetables: While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.

      Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, mixing everything together. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5 minutes until heated through. Stir in the cooked quinoa and lime juice, mixing until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the quinoa-black bean mixture onto the center of the wrap, top with avocado slices, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla in towards the center, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Serve: Optionally, you can lightly grill the wraps in a skillet or panini press for 2-3 minutes to get a crispy exterior. Slice in half and serve with lime wedges and additional cilantro.
