Quinoa Burrito or Taco Filling

Wednesday

I have been getting really creative with nutritional yeast lately! Trying it everywhere and frankly I just love the stuff. Usually when we make these burritos I don't add the the yeast but tried it tonight and loved it! Thought I would share..... by the way, there were none left over and I usually have a salad with dinner but skipped it tonight and had seconds YUM!


Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup cooked black/red/pinto beans
1/4 - 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (to taste)
Sea Salt (to taste)
White Pepper (to taste)
Garlic Powder to taste (optional)

Directions:

Toast dry quinoa in pan until fragrant. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender. Add remaining ingredients cover, and heat over low flame until beans are warm.


I served these topped with our go to homemade taco sauce and they were AMAZING!!!!

This would be great filling for a burrito. My FAMILY wouldn't think so but I'd love it! Thanks!

Debbie it is so easy to make you can cut the portion down to 1/2 cup quina just for you! It's a one pan dish!

Sounds great! I always buy my quinoa in bulk- can I still toast it without rinsing it first? Ive never tried it! Also- is the yeast just for taste- could I skip it?

So glad to find another quinoa recipe out there!! THanks!

Hi Regan! You can skip the rinsing but I would go organic! As for the nutritional yeast you can skip it too but the flavor will be bland, I would season the quinoa to taste.
