Ingredients

    Textured Vegetable Protein, dry (TVP) 1 cup
    Beans, white, 1.5 cup
    Quinoa, white, cooked, 11 oz
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Pepper, black, 1 tsp
    Oregano, ground, 1 tsp
    Chili powder, 2 tbsp
    *Dehydrated Chopped Onion, 3 tbsp
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Water, tap, 1 cup (8 fl oz)

    Burrito Size Flour Tortillas, 6 1/serving)

Tips

Doll these up by adding diced peppers, firm, cubed avocado, diced tomatoes, salsa...make your mouth happy!


Directions

Measure out 1 cup TVP and 1 cup water; nuke the water to boiling and stir in all the spices, onion flakes and seasonings you want to add. Now add the dry TVP, stir and allow to reconstitute. Slide this off to the side.

Measure out 1 cup dry quinoa and 2 cups water. Season appropriately: garlic powder, oregano, paprika, turmeric...be creative! Bring ALL ingredients to a boil, cooking FIVE MINUTES, and then put a lid on the pan, remove from heat, and allow to cool. It'll finish cooking that way.

Once the quinoa has cooled, drain a can of beans. I use whatever I have a lot of. One 15oz (+/- )can of beans, drained, gives you about a cup and a half of beanage. OR, about 9 ounces. Which is important to me, because the TVP adds up to about 10 ounces. Now, measure out ELEVEN ounces of the cooked quinoa. All those numbers? Roughly THIRTY OUNCES. Important, WHY?

Because I said so. Nah, just kidding. I did it so there'd be a nice balance of three sources of protein, and a nice, appreciable end-product. Five ounces of filling, in EACH of the six tortillas, makes a nice, handy hand-meal.
