  2. Cover the mason jar and shake well

  3. Set aside for 30 minutes to overnight

  4. In a bowl, add the ingredients for the salad

  5. Add the peanut butter dressing. I used only about ¾ of the dressing and refrigerated the rest

  6. Mix the salad well and set aside

  7. Heat a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on medium heat.

  8. Place one tortilla on the skillet and heat for 30 seconds. Do the same for the other side.

  9. Put the tortilla on a plate and add about half a cup of the quinoa salad in the middle

  10. 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

  11. Roll over the top tortilla fold and set aside

  12. 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.
