Spicy Mexican Quinoa Wrap

In case you haven't noticed, I've been a little obsessed with wraps lately.

We have had such beautiful weather, and the last thing I want to be doing is slaving over a hot stove. I am trying to soak up as much sun as I can before it gets too hot here.

Salads and wraps are my go-to dinner right now.

I love how quick and easy wraps are to pull together, and how enthusiastic the family is when I serve them. Since all three of my kids are picky eaters, it is nice to let everyone pick and choose what they want.

Spicy Mexican Quinoa Wrap

In my second book, I had an entire section devoted to quinoa wraps, tacos, and sandwiches, and I recently realized that I have never shared many of the recipes online.

This Spicy Mexican Quinoa Wrap is a delicious dinner solution that I think you will enjoy as much as we did.

The original recipe was made with organic silken tofu and was vegan. These days, I try to stay away from soy, since my stomach doesn't seem to like it.

If you tolerate it, the sauce is great with silken tofu. If soy isn't your thing, no worries! You can easily substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream into the sauce. It will still be fabulous!

    I like spicy. That's a good way to use the quinoa, and wraps are always a smart idea!

    That is a great vegan dinner choice and not too hard to make. I love quinoa but have never thought to add it into a filling for a wrap..

    My husband would love this. He recently gained a liking to super hot food, because he said the capsaicin helps reduce the lever of chronic pain in his back.. I like it because of the quinoa. Win win!

    Awesome dish for the summer! I don't like cooking too much under the summer heat, it's terrible! I think wraps, salads, and sandwiches are a winner.
