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!
Buffalo Tahini Quinoa & Rice Wraps
- Per 1 Wrap:
- 1 Gluten-Free Wrap/Tortilla
- 1 Minute Ready To Serve Red Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic Cup
- 3 Romaine Leaves (sliced lengthwise)
- 1-2 Whole Carrots (sliced lengthwise)
- Buffalo Tahini Spread:
- 2 TB Tahini
- 2 Tsp Frank’s Buffalo Sauce
- Microwave the Minute Ready To Serve Red Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic Cup according to package directions.
- In a small bowl mix together the tahini and buffalo sauce until combined.
- Lay the wrap on a plate and spread the buffalo tahini mixture over the wrap.
- On one side of the wrap, layer on the entire quinoa and rice cup, then all the romaine and carrots.
- Tightly roll up the wrap (like sushi). You can either wrap the rolled up wrap in plastic wrap for transport, foil for freezing, or just devour on the spot!
I think I just got rid of that midday slump and lunch dilemma! Lunch will be cool again (and easy, and quick, oh and delicious!) I would love to hear what you guys love to whip up for lunch or if you are someone who falls into that “lunch boredom” camp! But trust me on this one, we don’t have to let that happen ever again! Who knew we’d all be looking forward to that 12 o’clock lunch break some much now?
So tell me:
+ What’s your go-to lunch? Do you change it up or eat the same thing everyday?

Your Wraps look delicious!
Thank you!
Super tasty lunch option!
It sure is!
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!
Wraps are great to use up whatever you have!
Sounds Delicious Rebecca….i don’t think we have some if those ingredients in Ireland…must check. I like that you can freeze them
Thanks!
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.

Thank you so much!

Awesome! I hope you enjoy them!
These look so delicious I saved the recipe to try later! Great photos to go along with the description and recipe!
Thank you so much, Shauna! Enjoy!
These look absolutely delightful! I always struggle with what having for lunch and I find that I have the same thing over and over again. I am thrilled to throw this into the mix!
This will be a fantastic new addition!
YUM. These sound great. 🙂

Thank you!
Oh YUM! I want this now!
I know you’ll enjoy!
Oh wow, these look delicious!
I’m going to give them a try when I get back from travelling 😉
Awesome! I hope you enjoy!
So delicious! This will be on my plate tomorrow, for sure!
Well I’m glad to hear it!
You totally had me at tahini!
Right? One of the best!
I’ll have to try this one! I’m always looking for new ways to cook vegan 🙂
I know you’ll enjoy these!
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.
These looks super healthy and tasty too. Love the fact that these are gluten free. So many people try to avoid gluten these days
Only celiacs should be though 🙂
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.
Yes! Wraps are always a great packable go-to! And buffalo sauce ftw!
Yum! What a gorgeous combination of flavours!

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.
Ah, I’d say a lot of us eat it because it’s safe for celiacs!
So much yumminess in these wraps! I need to get some of the quinoa/brown rice mix!!
Yes! They are so yummy and handy 🙂
Genius! I’m totally digging the tahini + Frank’s Buffalo Sauce combo. Will def be trying that, thank you!
Spicy and “nutty” 😉
I can’t wait to make these for lunch soon! They look great
Thank you so much, Angie!
These wraps are the perfect answer to the “what’s for lunch” dilemma! Great meal prep for lunches this week!

Looks so yummy!

Minute rice is so convenient! I love that you stuffed these wraps with buffalo flavor and greens. Delicious!

Fantastic! I know you’ll enjoy them!
These are perfect for lunch on the go!
You bet they are!
I agree, I’m always a bit lost for lunch ideas, so this wrap is a great idea! I’ll keep an eye out for the Minute rice blends.
Wraps are always a great go-to!
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!
