Instructions
- In a mason jar, add the ingredients for the dressing
- Cover the mason jar and shake well
- Set aside for 30 minutes to overnight
- In a bowl, add the ingredients for the salad
- Add the peanut butter dressing. I used only about ¾ of the dressing and refrigerated the rest
- Mix the salad well and set aside
- Heat a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on medium heat.
- Place one tortilla on the skillet and heat for 30 seconds. Do the same for the other side.
- Put the tortilla on a plate and add about half a cup of the quinoa salad in the middle
- Start by folding the sides of the tortilla while holding the sides in, fold the bottom of the tortilla over the sides and the quinoa
- Roll over the top tortilla fold and set aside
- Do the same for the remaining tortillas.
Notes:
Goat cheese and/or rotisserie chicken are delicious add-ins to these! The salad can be refrigerated up to a week.
