Southwestern Quinoa Burrito - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup quinoa (remove saponins if your quinoa did not come clean of this)
    2 cups vegetable broth
    1 cup cooked red kidney beans (or canned, drained & rinsed)
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (I used dried)
    1/2 cup nutritional yeast
    sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup water
    6 tortillas (depends how full you want them)
    avocado, chopped (for garnish)
    Sauce
    1/2 cup salsa
    1/8 - 1/4 cup water
    1 tablespoon non-dairy mayonnaise
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
    1/2 teaspoon lime juice
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Preparation
    Add dry, unwashed quinoa to a large dry skillet. Toast until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add veggie broth and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender (about 15 minutes).
    Add beans, water, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt & pepper. Cover, and heat over low flame until beans are warmed through. Add more water if needed to keep the quinoa from sticking.
    In an oven or toaster oven, lightly toast 2 tortillas until warm and slightly crispy.
    Make the sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a blender and process until sauce is smooth.
    Plate. Divide quinoa/bean mixture in half, and place half the filling inside each tortilla. Roll up or fold tortillas in half. Drizzle with southwestern sauce and chopped avocados.
