\"Quinoa<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As part of my efforts to find healthy and diverse substitutes for bread, quinoa wraps have become a regular part of my menu. I like quinoa. It has a unique, nutty flavor, is a rich source of complete protein and dietary fiber, and I think I’ve cracked the secret to preparing it. These wraps are so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing. They have a wonderful soft texture, and it’s so much fun to fill them with whatever you like.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to make quinoa wraps?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As with any quinoa recipe, the first step is to give the quinoa a good rinse. Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse it well under running water. Quinoa can have a bitter taste, and rinsing removes it. This applies even when cooking quinoa, making it an essential and important step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step for quinoa wraps is soaking. There\u2019s no need to cook the quinoa beforehand. Soak the quinoa in plenty of fresh water for at least 3 hours, or even overnight. You can also soak it in the refrigerator, especially if the weather outside is hot.<\/p>\n\n\n

After soaking, drain the quinoa from the excess water and transfer it to a blender. The quinoa needs to be well blended, so use a blender that can do the job. I use a Ninja shaker. It\u2019s perfect for me in terms of size and convenience. Plus, at the end, I can just put it in the dishwasher (important!). Regarding immersion blenders\/ hand blenders \u2013 unfortunately, not all of them will work, but the good ones will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the quinoa in the blender\/shaker, add water until it’s covered plus about one centimeter. Season with a generous pinch of salt. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the whole recipe, isn\u2019t it wonderful? Of course, if you like, you can add more spices, like garlic powder. You can also add herbs like parsley or cilantro. Blend it until the batter is as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cooking the wraps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Heat a non-stick pan. No oil is needed, but it is important to use a good non-stick pan. Once the pan is heated, pour a small amount of the quinoa batter into the pan – roughly 1\/4 to 1\/3 cup of batter for each wrap. Spread it immediately with the back of a spoon or ladle, as thinly as possible. Let the wrap cook over medium heat until bubbles form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat this process for each portion of the batter, yielding approximately 6-7 wraps in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfer the cooked wraps to a plate and cover them with a very clean kitchen towel until ready to use. This is an important step, as it’s the time when the wraps become soft and pliable. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
