Deconstructed Quinoa Burritos

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
1 - 14 oz. can of organic mixed beans (pinto, black, small kidney)
1/2-1 cup pico de gallo fresh salsa
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
hot sauce (optional)
whole wheat tortillas (optional)
organic blue corn tortilla chips (optional)

Directions:

Cook quinoa according to package instructions.  Once cooked, remove quinoa from pan, scoop into a bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool.

Drain beans and salsa and mix together in a bowl, along with next four ingredients - through feta cheese.  Stir in desired amount of hot sauce, if you like it spicy!  Serve as is, or in a tortilla, and/or with tortilla chips.  I enjoyed mine as a "salad" in a bowl with a few chips on the side.  Greg ate his as a wrap in a tortilla, with a few chips on the side.  We both liked this meal very much!
