BOILING QUINOA 

Take quinoa in some sieve and rinse it so well. Transfer quinoa in a bowl and add some water. Soak it for 3-4 hours or overnight. Sieve it and transfer quinoa to a saucepan. Add water. Initially keep at high heat and when begins to boil, bring the heat to medium. Let quinoa boil until all water is gone. Take quinoa off the heat.

COOKING QUINOA 

Heat oil in a pan and add garlic, green chilies and onion. Cook until onion turns translucent. Add bell pepper carrot, salt and red chilli flakes. Cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Remember, don’t let the crunch go. Add boiled quinoa and lemon juice. Mix well and cook for a minute or two. Make sure there remains no water. Keep quinoa off the heat.

MAKING OF YOGURT SAUCE

Take vegan yogurt (oats Yogurt in this post) and add salt, black pepper powder and roasted cumin powder. Mix well.

ASSEMBLING BURRITO 

Slightly heat or microwave tortilla for 30 seconds and place some quinoa in the center, leaving around 2 inches of spaces across stuffing. Then spread a layer of oats Yogurt over quinoa. Put some carrot & cucumber Juliennes alongwith cilantro. Again add some quinoa over the Juliennes.

Fold the left and right sides inward over the filling. Fold the bottom edge up over the fillings, tucking everything in. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla away from you, keeping it snug. Fold the sides in again at the end to seal tightly. Apply little oil on skillet/tawa. Lightly toast the burrito for 1–2 minutes. Cut from the middle.

Enjoy.
