Wicklewood’s Lemon Quinoa and Avocado Tortilla Wrap

"Quinoa is such a great source of protein that there is no real need for meat in this dish, but for fellow carnivores out there, some shredded chicken breast perhaps? Where I have listed “prepared” quinoa, I refer to the rinsing that is needed to remove the bitterness associated with it. Rinsing in itself is enough but toasting adds an extra nutty element to the dish, try Dib’s Quinoa-Toasted #16399"
