Ingredients
½ cup quinoa, well rinsed
3–4 slices of squash (like butternut or calabaza)
1 ear of corn (fresh kernels)
6 slices of your favorite melting cheese
1 can tuna (drained)
Lettuce leaves
Tomato, sliced
Mayonnaise (or your preferred creamy sauce)
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, oregano, and smoked paprika (to taste)
Instructions
- In a pot, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until grains are tender and liquid absorbed (about 15 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the squash cubes, season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices, and sauté until lightly browned. Add the corn kernels and cook until warm and slightly charred.
- On a silicone baking mat or parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the cheese slices. Spoon the cooked quinoa on top and sprinkle with a pinch of oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake or broil until the cheese and quinoa form a golden, crispy layer. Let cool slightly.
- Toss the crispy quinoa-cheese layer on a an aluminum sheet. Top with sautéed squash and corn, tuna, lettuce, and tomato. Add a smear of mayonnaise or your favorite creamy sauce.
- Roll up tightly, slice in half if desired, and enjoy your crunchy, flavorful wrap while it’s still warm.
