Wraps are always a good way to mix things up when you’re just not feeling like a sandwich.

Quinoa, a South American whole grain that has gotten plenty of attention for its healthful benefits, is high in complete protein, which means that it includes all nine essential amino acids. With well-balanced amino acids, quinoa can be a great protein choice for vegans  or  for those in search of alternative adequate protein sources. And, not only does this grain promote cardiovascular health through its magnesium content, it can also help with tissue growth and repair, which is always helpful in maintaining beautiful and healthy skin.

Filled with other healthful ingredients such as in-season Heirloom tomatoes, baby arugula and delicious avocado, this recipe is a must-try!
