1

Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

2

Gather ingredients: 1.5 cups of white quinoa and 1.5 cups of water.

3

Use a blender (Vitamix) to blend the rinsed quinoa and water until the texture resembles a thinner pancake batter.

4

Add about 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the batter.

5

Add dried herbs and spices to the batter: about 1 teaspoon of oregano, and a few splashes of red chili pepper and dried parsley. Mix well.

6

Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat (or cast iron with a little oil).

7

Test the pan with a small amount of batter to ensure it doesn't stick.

8

Use a ladle to pour a full spoon of batter into the center of the pan and spread it out to the desired size.

9

Cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form and the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

10

Adjust cooking time based on desired crispiness; longer for crunchier wraps, shorter for softer wraps.

11

Place cooked wraps on a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter, noting that the recipe yields about 7-12 wraps depending on size.

12

Experiment with cooking on cast iron with and without oil, noting that oil makes the wraps more pliable and crispy.
