FUSION: Veggie Fajita Burritos
November 4, 2011 at 8:39 pm 2 comments
I found this recipe in October’s Rachael Ray magazine, and it made us very happy. I cooked it a little differently (because I was lazy).
- 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 can pinto beans, rinsed
- 1 cup tomato salsa
- Daiya cheddar cheese
- Whole-grain spelt tortillas (corn tortillas will work as well)
- In a small saucepan, cook the quinoa with 1/4 tsp salt, according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the beans and salsa to the pan, and heat until warm.
- Eat the bean mixture with quinoa and cheese, all wrapped up in your tortillas.

This looks and sounds amazing, I love fajitas! I love the addition of quinoa, I don’t see that too often in burritos!
