Instructions
Begin by cooking the quinoa in some vegetable broth for ~15 minutes until fluffy.
Wash the lettuce leaves and let dry while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
For the black beans
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Saute in a pan for a few minutes, then add the spices and tomato puree. Add water if necessary to prevent burning.
Add the canned tomatoes and black beans and let simmer for 5 minutes, adding a little bit of water if the sauce is too thick.
For the tomato salsa
Finely chop the tomatoes and spring onion. Add to a bowl together with the lime juice.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the tahini sauce
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix well. Add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. It should be slightly runny but not too watery. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the vegan lettuce wraps
Take one lettuce leaf and add a quarter of the black bean mixture.
Next, add some quinoa and tomato salsa.
To finish, drizzle some tahini sauce on top and enjoy.
