Quinoa potato roll

We enjoyed this wrap to the core. A perfect filling dinner loaded with vegetables, grains, sour cream or yogurt, all in one wrap. Prepare potato mixture, quinoa ahead before, at the time of dinner warm the tortilla, fill and enjoy. A wonderful party recipe too, your guest are sure to be impressed by your skills when they bite your wrap. 


I just shared my idea, you can mix and match sauces, spreads and fillings and create your own wraps. I used quinoa and peppers, you can add combination of noodles and veggies or rice and vegetables or can be wrapped using hummus and falafel with lettuce. Use your imagination beyond and advent a new wrap :)

Ingredients:

For potato mixture:
  • Olive oil - 1 tbsp
  • Peeled and parboiled potatoes wedges - 2 cups
  • Bell peppers strips - 1/2 cup
  • Quinoa - 1/2 cup
  • Dry red chilli flakes - 1 tsp
  • Oregano - 1 tsp
  • Salt - to taste

For yogurt sauce:
  • Yogurt or sour cream - 1/2 cup
  • Milk - 2 tbsp
  • Cilantro - 1 tbsp, finely chopped
  • Salt - to taste
  • Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Method:

Boil the quinoa as per package instruction. Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining all the ingredients given under' for yogurt sauce'. Stir and refrigerate until use.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the oregano and dry chili flakes, immediately add potato wedges and saute in a medium flame till the sides turn golden brown in color. Add the bell pepper and saute for another 3 minutes. Transfer the quinoa. Season with salt, combine well. Keep aside.
Heat a pan with 1/4 tsp of oil, add the tortilla or spinach tortilla and heat on both sides. Transfer to the clean dry surface and spread hummus generously.
Arrange 1/4th of potato mixture in the center of the tortilla. Spread yogurt cheese sauce over it and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls. Wrap a tissue papaer around each roll and serve immediately.
Note:
  • Quinoa can be replaced with plain rice or cilantro lime rice
  • When adding quinoa to the potato mixture quinoa should be dry, if there is more water drain the water and combine.
