Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 3 large leaves of lettuce
- Coarse sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the cooked quinoa on the stove top or in the microwave just enough to take off the chill from the fridge, or use freshly cooked quinoa.
- In a medium bowl, mix the warmed quinoa, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. Toss to combine thoroughly.
- Season the mixture with coarse sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Lay out the lettuce leaves and evenly distribute the quinoa mixture among them.
- Wrap the lettuce around the filling to form wraps and serve immediately.
Notes
For a nuttier flavor, toast the sunflower seeds before adding them to the quinoa mix. These wraps are best served fresh, but you can store the quinoa mixture separately in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble the wraps just before eating. Substitute lettuce with collard greens for a sturdier wrap.
