A quick and easy lunch idea for those hectic days! Buffalo Tahini Quinoa & Rice Wraps that are gluten-free, vegan, top 8 allergy-free, and freezable! A great recipe to meal prep so you’ll always have a delicious option ready to go.
I’m so not a lunch person. I live for breakfast, and dinner options are endless, but when it comes to lunch…it’s rather drab. BUT, why don’t we make lunch “cool” again? I know I’m not the only one who wishes for a little something to “spring up” that midday slump at work, school, heck, even at home! I’m always hearing from ya’ll that you want more lunch ideas. That’s the meal that everyone (at some point or another in their lives) gets stuck on.
I think the main reason for that “lunchtime dilemma” is the “we don’t have time for that” syndrome. Especially when you’re gluten-free. I’m always hearing from my mom how she wishes she could eat the catered lunches at work or go grab a slice of pizza. I hear if from you, my fellow celiacs, as well. “What do we pack for lunch?” Now you have to plan something out the day(s) before. You can’t just grab what everyone else is eating. But on those busy weekdays when breakfast is even a struggle to have time for, how could lunch be any easier?
Sandwiches and wraps are always what I think of when I think “lunch”. They’re easy, but not always filling enough. I want something a bit more hearty and fueling for the rest of my day. Something like Minute® Ready to Serve Organic Red Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic seemed like a fantastic idea for loading into a lunch wrap. These easy microwavable portioned cups are always a staple in my pantry and with Minute’s new organic varieties this was a no-brainer. Wholesome whole grains that are always flavored and just waiting to solve that “no time” and “no idea” lunch dilemma!
To make all those kids at the lunch table even more jealous, I didn’t stop there. Inside these gluten-free and vegan wraps not only will you find hearty red quinoa and brown rice, but a buffalo tahini spread and fresh, crunchy carrots and romaine! Can you say (spicy) plant power? Since I know you’ll want these wraps more than just once, I made sure the recipe was freezable, storable, and easily transportable! Make a bunch, wrap them in some foil, and freeze for later use throughout the week! Win, win, win!

We live on wraps in Turkey, so easy to make a salad and put into them! Not much selection of food here, though the vegetables and fruit are outstanding and very fresh!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Wraps are great to use up whatever you have!

Yum! I have never tried quinoa but I’d like to. I think i haven’t tried it because then there is a chance to not like it. Hah.

Tahini combined with a spicy sauce sounds like a wonderful combination. I always look forward to lunch, but don’t want to spend too much time on the prep. Making wraps up in a batch and freezing them is the sort of organisation I aspire too.
Bintu - Recipes From A Pantry
These looks super healthy and tasty too. Love the fact that these are gluten free. So many people try to avoid gluten these days
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Only celiacs should be though 🙂
Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite
Buffalo sauce is my addiction! I do warps for lunch almost every day. Such an easy way to pack in all the veggies. And so easy to throw in whatever! But anything with buffalo has got to be amazing.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes! Wraps are always a great packable go-to! And buffalo sauce ftw!

Though I’m not a big fan of tahini.., I love quinoa. People eat quinoa for health reasons, but I eat it because I really really love it. I’m definitely trying these wraps.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ah, I’d say a lot of us eat it because it’s safe for celiacs!
Liz

Wraps are always a great go-to!
Rachael Miner
I ALWAYS struggle with what to pack for lunch and being gluten free makes it way harder! Everyone around me is eating sandwiches, soups, and other things and I’m always like I wish I could have that too. I tend to stay away from buying gluten free bread only because it’s so expensive (and often tastes like cardboard) but these wraps look delicious so I think I might splurge and get some wraps!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
These will be perfect, they are loaded with flavor and texture!
