Vegan Chicken & Quinoa BurritosWell clearly, I didn’t take this picture.

:)

I made these for dinner last night, and though they were yummy, they weren’t very pretty (plus, I used regular taco-sized tortillas because I couldn’t find big ones). So, I borrowed this pic from Real Simple. They will likely not appreciate it, but it’s also likely they’ll never know. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Anyway, these were ready in a jif and there is enough protein in one serving to last you a good two days. Great after a tough workout on a weeknight.
