Quinoa Wraps (Tortillas)
Made with just quinoa and chia seeds, these healthy quinoa wraps are a delightful addition to any meal, from tacos and burritos to a tasty treat for kids.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow quinoa (185g)
- 1 1/2 cups room temperature water
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with water. Use enough water to submerge the quinoa completely. Allow the quinoa to soak for at least 3 hours.
- Drain and rinse again under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining residue.
- Drain and add to a high-speed blende along with water, chia seeds, and optional seasoning(s). Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes or so.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray with a small amount of olive oil or avocado oil. Pour about 1/2 cup of the quinoa batter into the pan. Quickly, using a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup, spread the batter as thin as you can in a circular motion without breaking it. Do not spread using the tilt method. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes or so prior to cooking so it thickens a bit.
- Don't use more than 1/2 cup of batter at a time.
- If your batter keeps breaking, lowering the heat will help. You can fill holes with extra batter.
- Transfer leftover wraps to an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can place a small piece of parchment paper between each wrap to prevent sticking.
