Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Dice the vegetables, cook the quinoa, and marinate the chicken or tofu ahead of time to save time during assembly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover veggies, so feel free to add or substitute any that you like.
  • Make the quinoa ahead of time: Quinoa can be cooked up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for meal prep.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help you to cook the chicken or tofu and vegetables evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken or tofu will not cook evenly and the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the chicken or tofu and vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Southwestern quinoa burritos are best served immediately, while the tortillas are still warm and the filling is hot.

Conclusion:

Southwestern quinoa burritos are a delicious and healthy meal that are perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great option for meal prep, as the quinoa and filling can be made ahead of time.
