Once you have the cooked quinoa on hand, these delectable Asian-flavored wraps come together very quickly. Photos by Rachael Braun. Recipe contributed by Wendy Polisi, reprinted from Cooking Quinoa.
Makes: 4 wraps
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice (such as Sriracha), more or less to taste
- Reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari to taste
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 4 large (10-inch) wraps, preferably whole grain
- 3 cups or so arugula, baby spinach, or mixed baby greens
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- 1 large carrot, grated or finely diced (or 1 cup pregrated carrot)
Combine the cooked quinoa, vegan mayonnaise, rice vinegar, hot sauce, and scallions in a mixing bowl and stir together well. Drizzle in a little soy sauce, just enough to add subtle flavor.
Dollop ½ cup of the quinoa mixture onto center of the wrap and top with a good handful of the greens, a quarter of the avocado, and a quarter of the carrots. Roll and cut in half.
Repeat with remaining wraps. Pass around additional soy sauce and/or hot sauce for individual servings.

This looks yummy! I'm always looking for lunch ideas. I just wanted to let you know, though, that I couldn't pin it on Pinterest. I believe there's something in the way the image displays that it can't copy it. It would be great to fix this -- that way I could share the recipe and your site with everyone.
Nava says
Hi Shayne — sorry for the delayed response! We are working on fixing the Pinterest issue, as quite a number of readers have pointed this out. Thanks so much for your input!
Amelia says
Looks good! How about a print button? I don't pinterest, and I hate when people post recipes on Facebook.
Nava says
Amelia, the VegKitchen site is being repaired with a new design, and there will definitely be a print button! Perhaps a few more days ... thanks for your interest and please do come back!

One bite and I was amazed. You guys have to try this for the quinoa sauce alone. Wow.

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this!
Daria says
This wrap looked delicious so I decided to try it..... I didnt have avocados so I added tomatoes and this wrap is amazing! My husband is not vegan and loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and super easy
Nava says
So glad you enjoyed this … it really is a yummy wrap, and so flexible.
Jennifer says
I am not a mayo fan....any suggestions on something else to use?
Nava says
Jennifer, this recipe is eminently flexible, so I'd say just use 3 T of your favorite salad dressing. Enjoy!
Cayla says
Great recipe! I made this for my vegan friend when she came over for lunch and it was a big hit for everyone! We did a home-made vegan mayonnaise and that made it even tastier!
Nava says
So happy that you and your friend enjoyed this, Cayla!
