Quinoa Spinach Wraps, by Diane

 

The aftermath coming out of the pan...an intentionally ugly food photo for the blog

When wound around the fork like "pasta"


I saw this recipe for a protein-filled healthy wrap on @veganbunnychef and was dying to try it with something! When I decided to try to make Smoked Turkey Wraps this week, I knew this was the combo I needed. Well, this was a fuckin fail...I saw a few reviews saying they were unable to flip them and they broke apart into a green mess, but I have fancy nonstick pans so I thought it would work. Nope. But, I did experiment with the batter since I had it, and upon further inspection these did in fact make a sort of spinach pasta type taste and texture, so after several trials I heated up strips of batter in the microwave on an oiled plate and when wound around a fork with marinara...well it was alright. Did it taste like spinach pasta? Yeah. Would I do it again? No. So- off to the store for wraps since I set this week's lunches around these I go.
