Yum-urrito !

I honestly impressed myself with this one. This was the perfect post-yoga dinner. It is gluten free, vegan, soy free, and DELICIOUS; hence the name "yum-urrito." The best part? You only need SIX ingredients.



What you will need:

-1 gluten free tortilla (I used the brand, "Food for Life")
-1 Avocado
-Shredded lettuce
-1 Pepper (any kind...I like spicy food, so I used a jalepeno pepper)
-1 Sweet Potato
-Quinoa

Steps:

-Sweet potatoes take a while to cook, so start with putting your sweet potato in the oven. I put mine on aluminum foil in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It took about 40 minutes for them to cook.
-As your sweet potatoes are finishing up, begin to make your quinoa. On the stove, boil water. Once it begins to boil, add your quinoa and bring the stove to a simmer. Cover the quinoa and let it cook until it has absorbed all of the water (about 12 minutes). Tip:  For 1.5 cups of boiling water, you add 1 cup of quinoa.
-While your quinoa is cooking, begin to chop up your vegetables! I used avocado, jalepeno peppers, and shredded lettuce. You can really use any veggies you like.
-Once your sweet potatoes and quinoa are finished, let them cool for a couple of minutes. Tip: Heat up your gluten free wrap in the oven just for a minute or so while your sweet potatoes are still in. It is perfect this time of year when it is colder out.
-Add your quinoa, (cut up) sweet potato, and veggies on top of your gluten free wrap. Add as much or as little as you please!
-Wrap up your tortilla (as best you can...mine always turns out a mess!)
-Enjoy your yum-urrito!


TIP: I like to dip mine in organic Sriracha sauce!
