These burritos are made with Wonder Wraps, but if you have a favorite on plan low carb tortilla that you would rather use, go for it! If you are not following Trim Healthy Mama, you can substitute with your favorite tortilla.
You can also cook your quinoa in a rice cooker. That's what I did. I know not everyone has a rice cooker, that is why I wrote the recipe using a sauce pan. If you do have one you can throw all the ingredients in there together, it works great! My zojirushi rice cooker is still working like new after continuous use for the last seven years. I used tricolor quinoa from Trader Joe's but you can use whatever you have in your pantry. It's supposed to be easy!
We really enjoyed my burritos using wonder wraps! I doubled this recipe so we could have them more than once. I also topped mine with some jalapeños my mom canned for me! Yum! Thanks mom! Remember to keep your cheese serving to a “garnish” amount only if you are trying to stay on plan with an E meal here.
My kids enjoy eating their black bean and quinoa burritos with homemade flour tortillas made with sourdough discard.

That depends on how full you fill your That depends on how full you fill your Burrito! If you divide this recipe by eight and use wonder wraps you could eat two. If you are using a low-carb wrap maybe one large. I like to fill mine with lots of veggies so it is bigger!
How many can I eat and stay on plan?
That depends on how full you fill your Burrito! If you divide this recipe by eight you could eat two especially if you use the wonder wraps, if you use a low-carb tortilla I would limit it to one but make sure to add lots of vegetables so that it is bigger and more filling!
