Latin-Asian Fusion Veggie Tacos

If you've seen Gen Y Health Hub's Cheesy Italian Quinoa and Raw Taco videos, then you are probably familiar with some of the ingredients and cooking instructions for this recipe. Fusing the two together, this recipe calls for quinoa to replace the mushrooms and adds edamame, sweet peppers, and soy sauce for a little Asian flare. 

It's healthy, affordable, and delicious! Try it out! And be sure to watch Gen Y Health Hub's videos for more nutritious recipes.

Quinoa, Edamame, & Sweet Pepper Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 c cooked quinoa
1 c shelled frozen edamame, thawed
1 medium bell pepper, seeded & chopped
1/2 c chopped red onion
8-10 lettuce leaves, rinsed & dried (butter or green leaf lettuce works best)
1/4 c rice vinegar
2 T soy sauce
1 T honey
1 clove of garlic, minced




Directions:
1.  Combine the last 4 ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until completely combined.  Set aside.

2.  In a larger bowl add the quinoa, edamame, pepper and onion and toss together.  Pour the sauce over the quinoa and mix together until the mixture is completely coated.

3.  To serve, place a couple tablespoons of the quinoa mixture into each lettuce leaf, wrap it or roll it up, and enjoy!

Note: This should be enough sauce to keep the mixture moist but not over-dressed.  If you like a lot of dressing or want some extra sauce for a dip, simply double the ingredients for the sauce, use half for the quinoa mixture and the other half on the side.
