Quinoa and Chicken Vegetable Wrap

Looking for a fresh, easy and satisfying lunch? This Quinoa and Chicken Vegetable Wrap is packed with simple ingredients and Pachamama flavors. Cooked quinoa is combined with tender chicken, fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, avocado and fresh spinach, then finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon. Everything is wrapped in a warm tortilla, making it an easy meal that feels both wholesome and delicious. Then, simply warm the tortilla slightly, add the filling, and roll it tightly.

And because I love adding something fresh and unexpected to a meal, I serve the wrap with a salad. A colorful spinach salad topped with blueberries, feta cheese and walnuts, dressed with a simple Dijon vinaigrette.

The combination is delicious: savory chicken and quinoa with the freshness of lemon and spinach, plus the sweet blueberries and salty feta on the side.
