My lovely boyfriend made us some veggie tortillas tonight – and they were delicious!

Ingredients

  • 6 tortilla wraps – we used these Mediterranean herb wraps
  • ½ a cup of basmati rice
  • 3 Quorn chicken fillets
  • ½ a red onion
  • 1 can plum tomatoes
  • Handful fresh spinach leaves
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. hot chilli powder

How to make it…

First wash the rice, put it on to boil and then simmer on a low heat.

While the rice is cooking you can make the sauce for the tortillas:

Chop half a red onion, add it to a saucepan and shallow-fry in a little olive oil. Once the onion start to change colour and texture, add 1 can of plum tomatoes to the pan, stir, and turn down the heat

Microwave the Quorn fillets for 2 minutes if using from frozen, then roughly chop and add to the pan.

Season with a pinch of salt, a generous pinch of black pepper, 1 tsp. of smoked paprika and 1 tsp. of hot chilli powder.

Let the sauce simmer down over a low heat for around 10 minutes. Just before you take the pan off the heat, roughly chop a handful of fresh spinach leaves, add to the sauce and stir in. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cooked rice.

You’re almost there – now it’s time to wrap it all up!

Place three tortilla wraps on a clean side, with the middle one on top of the other two. Spoon the mixture across all three wraps, staying roughly in the middle. Fold the edges over at either end and then roll it all up, holding it all together tightly as you do so (a bit like making sushi!) so that the contents don’t fall out. Finally, wrap the tortillas up in tin foil and twist the ends tightly to hold it all together.
