Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and kale)

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sweet and Spicy Balsamic Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vinaigrette:

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and chili flakes. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness and spice to match your preferences, adding more honey for sweetness or chili flakes for extra heat.

      Assemble the Wraps:

        - Place the tortillas flat on a clean, dry surface.

          - In the center of each tortilla, spread approximately one tablespoon of the balsamic vinaigrette.

            - On top of the vinaigrette, layer a handful of mixed greens, followed by a scoop of cooked quinoa.

              - Evenly distribute the sliced bell pepper, shredded carrots, avocado slices, and halved cherry tomatoes over each tortilla.

                Add the Final Touches:

                  Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over each wrap, and add chopped walnuts if you desire an added crunch. Drizzle a touch more vinaigrette over the top to enhance the flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all elements are balanced.

                    Wrap It Up:

                      Gently fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to secure it, then roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a firm wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

                        Serve:

                          For an appealing presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally to show off the vibrant fillings. Serve immediately for the best freshness or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a convenient on-the-go meal.
