Ingredients:
  

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • A generous pinch of salt
  • Fresh water for soaking and blending

Instructions:
 

  • Rinse the quinoa: Rinse thoroughly under running water in a fine-mesh strainer, this removes the saponins that cause a bitter, soapy taste. Don't skip this step.
  • Soak: Soak the rinsed quinoa in plenty of fresh water for at least 3 hours, or overnight. You can soak it in the fridge, especially in hot weather.
  • Blend: Drain the soaked quinoa and transfer it to a blender or a powerful shaker-style blender. Add a generous pinch of salt and enough water to cover the quinoa by about ¼-½ inch (0.5-1cm). Blend until completely smooth.
  • Cook: Heat a non-stick pan, no oil needed. Once hot, pour about ⅓ to ½ cup of batter into the pan and immediately spread it thin with the back of a spoon or ladle. Cook over medium heat until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to lift on their own, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stack and rest: As each wrap finishes cooking, transfer it to a plate and cover with a very clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking each new wrap on top of the last and keeping the whole stack covered the entire time. After the last wrap goes on, let the stack rest, covered, for at least 10-15 minutes, this is what makes them soft and pliable.

Notes:

  • Once you've got the basic recipe down, feel free to play around with extra flavor, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, or fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or scallions can all be blended into the batter.
  • A Ninja-style shaker blender works great here, and it's dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup easy. Not all immersion/hand blenders can handle this batter, so make sure yours is powerful enough.
  • Freeze leftover wraps with parchment paper between them so they don't stick. Thaw at room temperature for a few minutes, or warm briefly to restore flexibility before rolling.
