Instructions
 

  • Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy.
  • Combine quinoa and water in a covered stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until water is completely absorbed, about 10-15 minutes. When done, quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. The white ring will only appear when it is fully cooked. Fluff. Set aside.
  • Place half of the black beans in a large bowl and lightly hand mash, using gloved hands. Some beans should remain whole.
    For 50 servings, mash to yield about 3 qt 1 cup.
    For 100 servings, mash to yield about 1 gal 2½ qt.
  • Filling:
    Combine quinoa, mashed beans, carrots, cheese, red peppers, onions, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  • Using a No. 8 scoop (½ cup), spread filling on bottom third of tortilla. Roll in the form of a burrito and seal. If preferred, spread filling on half the tortilla and fold in half like a taco.
  • Brush filled wraps lightly with oil and place seam side down on sheet pan (18” x 26” x 1”).
    For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
    For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
  • Bake until golden brown:
    Conventional oven: 325 °F for 15 minutes.
    Convection oven: 300 °F for 10 minutes.
    Critical Control Point: Heat to 135 °F for at least 15 seconds.
  • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
  • If desired, serve with fresh diced tomatoes, corn salsa, lettuce, and/or salsa.
  • Serve 1 wrap.
