Whole-Grain Wraps with Quinoa, Beans, and Roasted Veggies Recipe

  • 8 ounces garnet yam or other sweet potato
  • 1 small zucchini about 8 ounces
  • ½ red bell pepper, about 4 ounces
  • 1 small red jalapeno seeded and julienned
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded queso anejo or other cheese (optional)
  • 1½ cups Mexican Quinoa with Pepitas and Cilantro (half the batch, without the added vegetables)
  • 4 10-inch whole wheat tortillas
  • Salsa, for serving
  1. .
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the sweet potato, zucchini, and bell pepper in ¼-inch-wide strips, then cut them into 2-inch lengths. Toss with the jalapeno, olive oil, ground chipotle, and salt in a 3-inch-deep roasting pan, and roast for 20 minutes. Stir the vegetables, then roast for 20 minutes more, until the zucchini is limp and browned and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Let the vegetables cool, place in a large bowl, and mix in the beans. If using cheese, add to the vegetable mixture. Divide the Mexican Quinoa among the tortillas, and then top with the vegetables, placing the fillings in a rectangular shape in the middle of each round. Fold the sides in and then roll the wraps. If making ahead, wrap each in foil, so that they can be reheated in the oven.
  4. Serve with salsa.
